Anyone who knows me, knows that I hate to see emaciated models marching down the catwalk. None of the Super Models that I grew up on and loved during the 1990's (cindy, stephanie linda etc…) were super thin skeletal looking creatures. However, equally damaging , Is the "Anti Fatism"/"Pro Fat" movement. Instead of promoting being healthy i find sometimes the media goes overboard and promotes obesity. Like a rash, areas of excessive weight are warning signs from the body saying " stop throwing trash in me i have no use for it!" However i believe a balance can be struck here. Beauty is the reflection of health and if we move towards that notion i believe it will be a positive and realistic step forward.

NB. that most of the Magazines that are promoting  a larger body image are still using  industry standard male models( who have less than 8 % body fat).
