Don't even get me started on the sheer stupidity and ignorance of the "Fat is Beautiful" social movement. It's no secret that kids - and adults - these days are totally OK with being fat because society teaches them that it's "okay" to be fat and that everyone has a different body type.
While I agree that not everyone has the genetics of a bodybuilder or supermodel, it's downright misleading and crippling to teach kids that being 50 pounds overweight is okay. It's the same as saying "Smoking is Beautiful" or "Drugs are Beautiful".... I personally do not find it beautiful when a person is poisoning their body from the inside out with all kinds of shit that is proven to cause serious damage. It's been proven by thousands of studies that people who are overweight are more prone to diabetes, heart disease, and all other kinds of health problems that the rest of society has to pay for. Being fat is not, and will not ever be okay.
