Why is media promoting sickness and death because of people´s body? Plus size models encourage obesity and an unhealthy life.

begin to spend extra time looking in the mirror and noticing the little things about themselves. Everyday beginning my freshman year, I would walk the overcrowded halls of William Chrisman and as I would look around I’d see all these pretty, skinny girls and I became suddenly aware of my size and looks. I have always played sports and I am constantly gaining weight because of muscle mass and I always sport my athletic wear which is not quite flattering. One day my sophomore year, I was standing…

today has viewed people beginning to accept plus-size women, especially if they are women that are well-known celebrities. There are many qualities besides good looks and well-toned bodies that plus-size women possess, such as talent, intelligence, and skills. The common denominator of all fat people is that they weigh more.

This ad displays the woman in a side view wearing a two piece bathing suit. In this era women couldn’t be skinny. This ad is showing that gaining 10 more pounds and will allow you to have all the men/dates you like, since no one like a skinny women. The woman is smiling as says she is happy with…

Plus-Size Fashion, Fatness, and Disability In the search for my own liberation as someone who identifies as fat, I find that fat empowerment ideals that are reliant on aesthetic beauty fail to account for the diversity and complexity of the bodies, opinions, and preferences of fat people. Empowerment for the fat community is overwhelmingly entrenched in fashion and beauty. Despite the important discourse put forth by fat women in particular that challenges societal norms—such as the unapologetic…

Another huge reason why people think they need to be rail thin is because of our social media. Every person you see on a TV commercial, a magazine, or any other advertisement for something, the girl is always rail thin. There are very few times you will actually see “plus size” models for clothing lines or anything else.
