I mean, seriously. I, myself am not thin and I never will be. I have a large family, and I have a really bad metabolism.
Besides, back in medevil (sp?) times, women who were heavier-set were viewed as healthier, and ble to bear better sons... not that I want that last part... XD So, this raises the question; why do Americans feel the need to look down upon us larger girls, and think that we aren't pretty, aren't as smart, can't do as many things, etc.? |

I can answer this in a simple statement. America is a country of extremes; if fat is bad for you we have to jump to the other end of the scale. People have a problem with being in the middle. and not enough people are campaigning to show the world that super skinny is unhealthy as well. So many people only see fat as unhealthy. but like I said, this country doesn't like happy-mediums.
