Scott, I agree with what you say, except this: ***The population isn't told to 'emulate' skinny people...they're encouraged to be healthy.
The weight-to-height charts have not been updated since the 1950s, and the goals set for the (can I be polite?), the big-boned, are impractical, if not completely impossible. Thats my contention.
I did say they were all types of strength, and your endurance through physical excersise is strength also. I think BMMF took my calling him an 8stoner better though. ;)
Anyway, I agree with the rest of what you have said.
My stereotyping is pure laziness, and not wishing to use my library card to back up my comments.
I do have a rather excellent library card.
