Liposuction

What if it was considered attractive in the U.S. to be overweight?

I know that Americans are already fat and that in some cultures it is good to be a little bigger, but what would the U.S. be like today if being heavy had always been considered more attractive? What would Barbie dolls look like? What kinds of businesses would replace Weight Watchers, liposuction clinics, and the gym? Would McDonald’s Big Macs be considered "health food"? What do you think?

  1. Well, the problem is what weight is considered and who is doing the judging. Watch a Miami Dolphins cheer leading program on the NFL Network, a female looked great but was considered overweight by the female judge. Her reasoning made no common sense. There is an unrealistic standard that goes beyond Barbie. A girl that had a skinny body who they labeled as Barbie, was too fat. There is a sick mentality out there in society that is out of touch with reality.

  6. Some people will do anything except give up over-eating. No I hope that slim figures will be admired for the rest of time. Fat is ugly. I can’t say it any other way. Fat people know they’d be much more attractive if they were slim, but who cares about looks when all that delicious food is on the table.
    Anyone can afford to have a slim trim figure. Food costs money. Less food costs less.
    Fast food does not make a person fat. I often make a meal of a McDonald hamburger. I’m far from fat. Stiff yourself with Big Macs, or anything else - - - you’ll pile on the pounds.
    Food makes fat - - less food, less fat. Simple
