Why are British girls so fat?
The Telegraph ^ | 05/29 | Louisa Peacock

British women are officially the fattest in Europe. Well, hoorah for us. Of all the labels we could have picked up – the drunkest, the laziest, the most promiscuous – this one can't be that bad, can it?

And what about those people who actually choose to be fat? A growing group of overweight activists claim it's OK and healthy to be overweight. Fat activism, as they call it – yes that's a thing now – is about recognising that all bodies are fine. Nowadays, the 'fat movement' is all about challenging prejudices.

Except, we should be worried. Accepting obesity is just as bad, in my book, as accepting 'skinny'. Both are more often than not unhealthy. Both conditions also often lead to the people concerned being unhappy

Indeed. We right wingers are strong adherents to the rules. Whereas with leftists, they hate the rules. Which is why many are gay.\

I love this crazy series. Can't stop watching re-runs of Keeping Up Appearances. Truly a funny series.

Well, I wouldn’t consider myself a chubby chaser by any means, but if it’s between a bit of beef and the anorexic adolescent boy bodies promoted as ‘beautiful and healthy’ today, Bring on the voluptuous!

The article isn't talking about women who are voluptuous. They are talking about fat:

Catherine Zeta-Jones is voluptuous. The woman below is on the borderline between voluptuous and fat. The women above are fat.

In all seriousness, there has been, for some time, plenty of supposedly hetro men out there that consider something like (my favorite example) Marylin Monroe to be, and I quote, “A fat pig”.

Read the comments on some of the sites like Funny Junk or Cheezburger.com when you see a pic there of a non aneorexic boy body. So when the media says “fat” they could well mean what most people see as normal.

It is said that the British conquered the world to escape from their own cooking... :)

I was surprised to read this. I have always considered English girls to be among the world’s most beautiful.

Send them Michelle Obummer, she’ll solve their problem. She’ll give them her school lunch program.

It is because they want to be large and in charge!

The one on the bottom is fat and needs to lose about 40 pounds. (guessing that she's about 5'5" or 5'6")

The two in the upper pic are just flat-out obese.

Marilyn may have been messed up in some ways, but she was an attractive member of the opposite sex.
