the article had something to do with fat women being treated with much less respect than fat men. By the mecical proffesion, airlines, etc I think it is the Feb 2006 issue. Just wanted to know if anyone else read it

I agree. I remember a Dear Abby once that really struck me as being great advice. Someone wrote in this long letter about someone who was a real embarrasment because she was so thin skined when it came to insults and things about her weight and the person that wrote in asked how she could get her to not be so sensitive about things. Dear Abby wrote back that she didn't think the sensitive one was the problem , she thought it was the insensitive people who had the problem and she should be more supportive of the person who was being hassled. I almost applauded right there in the restaurant.

I have lived in Calif. for 42 years and have never heard of this magazine. Best of luck in finding it. You may want to try your local library and see what they suggest.

They made this one just for me...Heck, someones got to be an Oklahoma strip poker champion!!!\n\n"Women may not gamble in the nude, in lingerie, or while wearing a towel." \n\nAnd here's one like yours...\n\n"Females are forbidden from doing their own hair without being licensed by the state." \n(They'll just have to sue i guess! LOL)\n\nHere's a good one...Now remember I live in OKLAHOMA...\n\n"Whaling is illegal." (LMAO!!! The only whales I see hear wear hot pink spandex and they definitely need to be shot! Yuck!!!)\n\nAnd last but not least...Drum roll please! I don't think I could ever make enough money to pay for all the fines I've accrued on this one... LOL\n\n"Or@l sex is a misdemeanor and is punishable by one year in jail and a $2,500 fine." \n\n:D

I work for the Body Shop, and we get a biweekly newsletter.  In it, there's tips and tricks for putting on makeup, new products, etc.  Every now and again, it will have articles dealing with women's issues.  I'm not sure that it can be purchased, but I'm sure a store associate would be willing to help you out.

Well I personally wouldn't know! As I have grown up all my life in Australia. But seeing the media in the US has really shown how the obesse is treated, unfairly and horrible. Its something which we should all accept each person in this world for. I would have thought the UK would have also been treated this way, due to having a almost same average of obessity in this world. So I believe the US is treated without respect, even though I have never seen in first hand. Just through so many issues, movies and etc.

Willys cynical thought for the day;\n\nQuestion to the 'feminists;' how can you expect to win the 'battle of the sexes' when 90+% of your team is still sleeping with the enemy?\n\nhttp://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/

There was an article in the April issue of Stuff Magazine, saying how nobody was sent to prison or anything but the bums who filed the lawsuit are filthy rich now. I guess they sued the makers of BumFights for a few million dollars.

Apparently no one actually read the article... what the study found was that chickens given a particular virus (Ad-37) had significantly higher levels of fat (though not total body weight) than chickens infected with other viruses, despite being in the same conditions and being fed the same food. The reason the researchers undertook this study was because Ad-36, another virus of the same type has already been associated with higher fat in animals. What exactly it means, and how many people, if any, are obese simply because of a virus is unknown currently, and beyond the scope of the study, but it is obviously an interesting area to look into. It is not complete quackery, because it is in keeping with earlier studies and involved a sound statistical and experimental model.

Check out the following website, but what article and what section of the paper was it in?

Interesting question. I think that you are correct that they should hold some responsibility for it. But there are other people involved as well. Like the people who raised these insecure women and men with eating disorders, who didn't teach them to be secure in themselves and that these models are unhealthy and are at an unattainable weight without doing drugs and/or being anorexic /bulimic. There is too much emphasis in the media, though, to be perfect. I see it when they take a beautiful woman with a beautiful body and yet they feel the need to airbrush her to make her look even more perfect. And how they require certain types of celebrities to be under weight to keep their career going. It makes these girls and guys think that this is how we are supposed to look like when it's not only just a fantasy but these models are practically cartoons, drawings, 100% fake from start to finish.

I was on this site a few nights ago, and saw what you described, a womans butt, and two homosexual, well, its to obscene to describe.  Whoever lets that crud by, while giving violations for nothing, in my opinion, are just taking the opportunity, to sh t on the cristians.  My answer will probably be deleted.  I thought I had inadvertantly, got on to a porn site.

Whoever told you like is fair was LYING to you!\n\nThis could be another case of "figures lie and liers figure", but probably not.\n\nThis obviouvsy racially oriented article does itself no creditability by not discussing the applicalbe demographics, such as income, education, or access to health care.\n\nIrresonsible articles like this serve little purpose other than incite unneeded race based bias.\n\nThat said, we do NOT have a great medical system, but I challenge you to show me another method proven to work better.

I, for one, have never once worried about my weight - or needing to diet, to keep it in 'shape' !\n...It is the MEN and the MEDIA who are all out to brainwash us that 'skinny is sexy' and 'beanpoles are beautiful' ! How else could they market all those fancy 'diet' foods and beverages, plus 'instant reduction' cosmetic surgical techniques like liposuction - and rake in billions in profits ?\nIt is still very much a marketing MAN's world, baby : And it is going to be a real struggle, for us women to unite and stand-up against these stupes to announce : 'We are HAPPY being healthy, and well built. It is these MEN who need be slim and bony' !
