Fat

Ok, so I'm watching this bizarre show that's a beauty pageant for fat girls. Because "big is beautiful". I find this somewhat disturbing. I am all for feeling comfortable in your own skin. I wish I was, and actually more on the emaciated side than the big side. But how responsible is it to promote fat? Every day we are told what a health hazard it is to be overweight. Is all of that suddenly wrong? Is 300 pounds now something that doesn't strain your heart, your bones, and generally shorten your life?

Chunk is chunk. But if you have no idea where your belly button is and haven't seen your ankles in several moons, that's not sexy. Knowing your body is sexy. Loving your body is sexy. Abusing it is not sexy.

By the way, I also find it ironic that Curves fitness chain is the first commercial at the break. Perfect.

Does anyone else notice these things, or is it just me?
