WHERE DO LIARS GO...?

why have we as a culture started to coin the phrase "big is beautiful?" i know we live in america and everyone is equal and being more politically correct than the next man somehow makes you a better person and yada yada yada--but lets not say things we cant take back. and then we give examples like queen latifa (self-proclaimed) and that one black chick on that america's next top model show. why, why, why?

ok, we decided that saying "looking like twiggy is beautiful" destroys the morale of young women everywhere, makes them bulemic and so on. fine, i dont have a problem with that. actually, i dont really like girls that look like a fishing rod anyway. having a striking resemblence with a broadway show prop isnt a good thing. but why go to the other extreme and say that looking like a sea world prop is wonderful? besides, obesity is not an ethnic thing; it is a lifestyle choice like smoking or homosexuality. we have started to lay off the gay jokes, but we still look down on smokers and no one is bothered by that hypocrisy. so why are we so senitive about it? it IS actually something that you have control over; so, control it. if you must choose a lifestyle to promote wouldnt it be better to preach a middle road rather than invent plus-size models to make people feel less depressed? how about, "moderation in all things." or maybe something healthy like "eat enough food for your caloric expenditure--no more, no less."

have you ever seen an athletic woman? you know, the ones that are actually healthy? they dont look like kiera knightly and they certainly dont look like queen latifa. but they certainly DO look good. so dont try to make the fat kids feel like their lifestyle is acceptable just so you dont hurt their feelings--because gluttony is not ok. it builds a false sense of reality. tell people to eat right and be physically active on occasion. they will feel better, look better and you wont go to hell for lying...jokey jokey.









in a related topic: immodest clothing. regardless of what someone's view is on the subject of the appropriateness of revealing clothing, i think everyone can agree on one simple thing--some people look better than others in revealing clothing. so much so, in fact, that it is safe to say that some people might even look bad in such clothing...even grotesque. usually, those people are fat. i dont have anything against fat people as a race...er group of people. in fact, some of the all-around best people i have ever associated with have been obese. now, i tend to follow the view that revealing clothing is to be avoided. call it upbringing or edicate, whatever. but i know that everyone has a right to wear whatever they want within certain legal bounds. here is a place for such a legal bound. i cant listen to my heavy metal music at 2am because it disturbs the those around me. so why should i have to lose my lunch every time i see a scantily clad fat chick. put some clothes on! tiny clothes were not made for you!
