Overweight people are still viewed as losers. On the TV series information Pop Idol judge Pete Waterman told 20 stone contestant Rik Waller that he had no chance in the music industry because he was 'too fat' -- completely disregarding Waller's vocal talents. One hundred years on from the Victorian science of 'physiognomy' when it was believed that physical traits directly related to personality do we really buy the stereotype that fat people are failed people? David Miller is not convinced. He attributes the preponderance of gaunt models in magazines and whippet-thin actresses in movies to the 'commodification of the body' rather than a public hunger for jutting hip-bones in fashion spreads. 'Basically, capitalism requires companies to find new markets all the time, and new ways to sell things. |
Best Fat Paysites

| It seems the larger we get the smaller our icons become. Back in the 1950s, the average woman's hip measurement was 34 inches, and likewise the average mannequin came in at precisely 34 inches too. By the 1990s, fat nude our hips had swelled to 37 inches, yet the average mannequin had been whittled down to a mere 31 inches. A development which only serves to 'make us feel worse fat nude about ourselves', says David Miller of the Stirling Media Research Unit, who charts the rise and rise of eating disorders since the late 1970s. Once upon a time, size 16 Marilyn Monroe was sex on legs; last year Liz Hurley declared to Allure magazine, 'I'd kill myself if I was that fat.' In fact around 50% of women in the UK are a size 16 or over therefore most of us are that 'fat'. So why aren't we bombarding Hurley with angry letters? Could it be because, secretly, we agree with her? Beth Hunter, a counsellor who specialises in eating disorders, believes Hurley's view is quite common in that we tend to associate slenderness with all kinds of positive attributes, from self-control to intelligence, and obesity with overwhelmingly negative ones. |
