Plus models anyone?

You know... I only saw this thread because the lovely and curvaceous Michelle had responded to it. I really cannot resist saying something in it though...
I would like you all to close your eyes and remember that guy/girl in high school who lived on Big Macs, fries and junk. They likely even put ketchup, and gravy on those fries and got the chicken burger with the extra mayo every, single day from the high school cafeteria. You know them still because you just shake your head and dig into your balanced meal while they eat like a complete jerk. You know you cannot do it without paying for 3-5 days so usually you cannot be bothered to do it. Not worth the price you will pay!
Do you hate them a little because they can do this and never gain a pound? Bet you they are not as 'healthy' as they look.
Now here is the juxtaposition for you:
What happens when you are faced with someone who is curvaceous, and most days eats healthy. Their blood pressure, and all their medical stats are so perfectly in line. The only things they do not have classified as 'perfect' is their BMI fails to fall between two sets of numbers (which is out of date and antiquated - even medical professionals will tell you this - check their body fat instead), and the scales do not read an 'acceptable' number (neither do those who are very, very athletic - especially anyone who lifts high limit weights, etc.).
Do we now get to hate them a little because they dare to not be 'perfect' by the standards we would rather they have?
Maybe they should stop eating a balanced diet and do one of those crazy crash diets, or perhaps they can take out a loan for some plastic surgery. I mean... Why should the rest of society be subjected to someone who is a 12-14. How dare they actually use a L or XL from a regular store. Shame on those women for being that size... To think that women in that size range were being portrayed as 'Plus Size Models' when most had to shop in 'Standard Stores' because the other stores had nothing small enough to fit them. It was maddening for them! The good news is there are 2-3 Plus Size lines which have brought in sizes like 0X (it is a size 10-12).
Let me be really clear here:
The size of someones behind doesn't ever denote their physical health and lifestyle.
There are dozens of studies which show it has more to do with how someones body is composed than the actual size of said body.
Here... Why don't we read some CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/05/02/waist.size.predicts.heart.disease/
Oh snap... I guess this means that my smaller waist, and rounded hips/booty mean I am less likely to be the one who has a heart attack and dies from it then the person who is predisposed to putting it on in the mid section.
Don't worry! They can still put on the smaller size as long as the waist is more forgiving. They will still maintain their great legs! They may just have a heart attack though because of where their body stores fat... In and around their internal organs. Ah to heck with it... They still look great right?
Now if you will excuse me I have to go cave in to my craving for granola, fresh fruit, and Greek yogurt.
