Scott, I clarified the jibe about Lily in a later post.
As for the "skinny" population....aren't they the ones that everyone is told to emulate? Doctors and all health professionals, all media, especially newspapers, give a daily account for fatties to digest, that there lives are wrong, and they should be a certain weight.
But if those weight limits are to be adhered to, then everyone would be a Medium size (if we go by clothing), and that is incredible to most big people.
The skinnies should be secure enough in that fact that society holds them up and loves them. They are the trendy, and the fit. Scott, if I say I find bigness far more attractive than skinniness, then I am the exception to the rule. So how can my tiny opinion have an effect?
I haven't bought a newspaper today yet, but I bet at least one, will be telling fat people that they are horrible (..........in comparison.......to people that are slim). Its tiresome, and truthfully Scott, I don't buy into it.
I do believe that fat can be attractive. And to me, and to others I know, it is. Not dangerous obesity. Thats tragic. But I maintain, that not only skinny should be the benchmark of attractiveness.
I apologise to anyone slim, that has felt attacked by me, in what I have written. I really mean that.
When I was growing up, I remember seeing famine appeals on TV, and those emaciated bodies made me feel not too well. I'm pretty sure that that experience has had a permanent effect on me. Maybe in entirely the wrong way.
