THANK you... someone gets it.

They don't *have* to ban "too fat" models. Let's face it, no one is going to see a fat woman in a bikini and say "y'know, screw my diet, I think I'm okay with waking up one day and hauling an extra quarter of my body mass out of bed." Fat people live with enough shit without the added shame.

I kinda think a lot of people are missing the point about the "fat acceptance" movement. It's got jack all to do with whether being fat is healthy or not, and more to do with the fact that a stranger's health (or lack thereof) is none of your business. Shaming or hating people because of the amount of excess weight they're carrying is no more (or less) acceptable than shaming them for their fashion sense or level of education. Is it a crime? No. Is it helpful, in any way, to any person? No. No fat person is gonna lose weight out of shame. It can give 'em an eating disorder, but (personal experience here) eating disorders don't always lose weight.
