"Plus sized models" are normal sized people.

How annoying is a list about 'body image heroes' when it's entirely made up of conventionally attractive, able bodied white women? This annoying!
So taboo. Who could love this woman?

They're all average sized and curvy in the right places. And while I know even the most 'perfect' looking of women have issues with body image and have to put up with bullshit critique we do not need a list of 11 white ladies comments on body image each year.

It was a HUGE year for Mindy Kaling. How was she not on that list? Jessica Smith started her own "Positive Body Image Awards" this year. I'm not super up to date on my pop culture right now but this can't be the best we can do.

People veil their unnecessary comments under the guise of 'concern'. As if being thin automatically makes you healthy and being fat automatically makes your health everyone else's business. Bull you don't want to 'glorify obesity' by not sticking your nose into other people's lives.

Being fat is one of the worst things you can be as a woman in America. You'll get more wiggle room if you're openly a racist. People will even defend your right to be a racist. People shouldn't feel bad about their body because of how other people feel about it.
