Anorexia to obesity. If neither of these terms are thought to be a standard to which any individual should uphold themselves to, then why do we continue to advertise them more than the every-day-average person? Just as anorexia deals with both physical and mental issues, and the addictions of the human, so does obesity (food...an addiction?? Click here).

The following two comments pretty much sum up my opinion.

Anorexia is a problem, but come on, it's not like obesity is any better! I'm not commenting on her physical beauty, just saying lets not swing the pendulum too far the opposite way because both extremes are unhealthy.

I think it is fair to say giving over weight woman the same opportunity as a thin person is the correct thing to do. But I also think this is exploiting fat women. Not real appealing to me.
