Why do we ridicule thin people more than fat people?!


Question:

Why do we ridicule thin people more than fat people?

It struck me while flicking through one of those celeb mags that there were pages of articles about how such and such celebrity is underweight etc, and very unhealthy, but very little about how overweight celebrities are also unhealthy. I wondered why this was? Is it fair to talk about banning so called size 0 models but not plus size 22 ones?

I would like to add that I don't agree with either, a healthy balance is the answer. I was just curious as to what you thought the reason was for this. It is very evident if you pick up any celeb magazine. Whether you like it or not is not relevant, I'm afraid!


Answers:

It has become very "taboo" to ridicule over weight people. With so many overweight celebs making it a point to embrace their weight issues and taking a stand to end the public's eye on obesity, many people are afraid to say anything anymore.

Because of the re-newed trend of drug use being "put out there" by celebs, the focus has shifted to the "drama" of young, beautiful girls wasting away to drugs.

It's all media and how we as a public look at what's happining in Hollywood..... the trend of skinny bashing will fade soon enough and we will be forced to read about some other "hollywood drama" infultrating the young and beautiful.

I don't agree with any of it..... there are skinny people, there are fat people and there is everybody inbetween. As long as we keep buying the magazines with Nicole's ribs showing and Julia's cellulite then they will keep printing it
