Thin is out soon?

Starting from criticism of super-skinny models in Spain, backlash on thin models and celebrities in Hollywood has been on the headlines since July. After over a half century of thin-as-fad, people suddenly realize being thin is way out of trend. Thin models are suddenly facing the risk of losing their jobs, which they used to deadly starve themselves to gain. I don't know how long this thin-out "campaigne" will last. But models and celebrities are merely victims of this over-a-half-century weight drama. Models and celebrities keep thin to please the producers and ultimately audiences in order to keep their jobs. If nobody was willing to see some skeletons showing their bones and intruding cheeks on TV or runways, there would have never been such a group of idiots strarving themselves while they can afford plenty of food. After satisfying the weird taste of the audience for so many years, those poor girls have to make sudden changes because their audience suddenly reallizes their taste is not healthy! Let me put aside the comments on those poor girls for now. Talking about weight is always one of my interests.

Being thin is never one of my favors. Being healthy is my true concern. Some people confuse thinness and beauty. It may be true that a thin person looks better than a fat one in the same dress. However, it doesn't mean we should pursue extreme. Not mention the health issues caused by being under-weight, looking over-thin makes you look unenergetic and cold. In some cultures, being thin indicate a calculating personality. Well, nobody wants to have a calculating friend. My ideal figure must have toned muscle with radiating skin, which cannot be obtained without appropriate amount of exercises and appropriate diet.
