Wow.... Let me start this off by saying I love Bookworms With Ink. I love tattoos. I love literature. Together it just makes my day better. Except today. A girl (who turns 25 with me tomorrow!) got a HP tattoo and posted it. She is tall and thin, but not too thin. However, someone told her to eat something and then said she looked like a holocaust survivor. The OP knee-jerk reacted by calling that person fat (and her defense was that a thin person would never say that). This turned into over 400 comments of bitching.... and then someone created their own post about it.

RIDICULOUS!!!

Should she have called that person fat? Probably not. HOWEVER, I think that it was an interesting argument. IF she were overweight and someone told her to stop eating, people would throw a fit. But somehow it's more acceptable to make fun of being "too" thin (many people said this exact point).

I don't think we should all be size 0's 2's 4's or even 6's, but while reading the post it got me thinking about the new bachelor show on ABC (or NBC) with "real" women. It's not ok that the average size woman in the US is above a size 16. I love the idea of loving your body whatever size you are and understand that everyone has a different build, but are we going too far and raising kids to think it's ok to be overweight? I'm not saying all thin people are healthy (far from it), but overall they are less prone to heart disease, diabetes, and breathing problems (to name a few). When are we going to start glamorizing mid-size healthy?
