Is Fat the new thin?

Reports say that the average woman in America is a size 14. Most people in commercials, on billboards, and walking the runway are a size 2. Does anyone see anything wrong with that picture.

I was watching Monique's Fat Chance on Oxygen last night, and was excited to see this fabulous woman yet again go against the grain and produce a show that celebrates woman of all sizes. But, amidst the show, there were segments promoting unhealthy eating, fried chicken, and assorted other misleading messages. Is it okay to be fat? Is a size 22 okay, as long as you love yourself? Will self-esteem boosters be enough to liberate obese women from their shell?

American's eat more food than most countries. And many sit at a computer terminal at our jobs, getting little if no exercise throughout the week. So, designers make clothes bigger. New lines fro the plus size woman pop up everywhere. Does this solve the problem? Or is there even a problem?
