A blog in Marie Claire has brought the fat debate back to the world of television. As we do every year, we have to ask what it means to be fat, what should be considered a realistic/healthy body type, and why whatever that realistic ideal is, it isn't represented on television. I've always been of the mindset that the photographers and lighting designers who work for Maxim and FHM can make nearly any body type look good in a lace bra and panties. However, having met several of what Hollywood considers beautiful, the reality is that most of them are scrawny little twigs that I'd be afraid of snapping in half in a moment of passion. Women are supposed to have curves, their legs are supposed to have definition, and their ribcage should not be visible.
