I read a really good article today about weight and the ridiculous obsession many girls have to be a size zero. It pointed out that being skinny is not the be-all and end-all.
Another issue it raised is the different attitudes to female size in various countries. For instance, a plump woman in certain parts of West Africa is considered quite desirable and many parents have been known to force feed their daughters so they can get good skinny husbands.
