You do realize that "plus sized" models are rarely fat.Dude hendricks is a skinny chick. Big boobs on a skinny girl does not make her plus sized.No problem.
Yes plus size models are rarely fat, i was referring to the generic term plus sized.
Plus sized models make women fat, but only if women eat them.
Once again, The Jade FTW.
I swear you stay up at night thinking of this stuff...
No, the plus-sized ones have too much white meat.
I wanted to add here that while my initial motivation for this thread was as a joke, it has raised some very serious issues about obesity. The question I ask is this: is it healthy to be overweight? The answer is "no", so it stands to reason that having plus-sizes models, who are overweight, isn't a healthy lifestyle to model. I would promote only having fit and athletic women as models, because being too skinny isn't healthy either.

FIFY

I think you've got some flawed reasoning here. Yeah, it's not healthy to be overweight, but most "plus-sized" models I've seen are hardly what I'd call obese. Furthermore, there are many schools of thought that would insist it's also unhealthy to obsess over weight and fitness. There's nothing wrong with enjoying what you eat, and I wouldn't mind seeing models who support a marginally indulgent lifestyle.
Beyond that, you can't really have a government regulate this kind of thing (your suggestion, though possibly intended as a joke) without bringing them into business far outside of their purview. What venues would be regulated? What qualifies someone as a proper model? These are questions that would have to be answered, and even then, we're left with the question of "is this really the business of a federal government?" My own answer would be a resounding "no." A government instructing people on how to properly live is something I shudder to ponder, and also, if they are going to focus their energies on regulating modeling, then the rest of the country had better be in freaking good shape.

'Till you get cancer and start on the chemo. Then you are seriously better off having a few extra pounds.
I'm serious BTW, this is not an attempt to make an insensitive joke. Our perception of "overweight" is mostly cultural. You can easily postulate scenarios in which more weight (to a point) is medically beneficial.
That should be the real benchmark here: the person's health. If they look great and feel great and they're healthy but the scale reads something that doesn't match a (very old and questionably relevant) chart, who cares?
