More Americans say being pudgy not so unattractive - study finds |
More Americans say being pudgy not so unattractive
CANDICE CHOI, Published: 08.21.2006
http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/body/23083
Thin is still in, but apparently fat is nowhere near as out as it used
to be.
A survey finds America's attitudes toward overweight people are
shifting from rejection toward acceptance. Over a 20-year period, the
percentage of Americans who said they find overweight people less
attractive steadily dropped from 55 percent to 24 percent, the market
research firm NPD Group found.
With about two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight, Americans seem more
accepting of heavier body types, researchers say. The NPD survey of
1,900 people representative of the U.S. population also found other,
more relaxed, attitudes about weight and diet.
While body image remains a constant obsession, the national
preoccupation with being thin has waned since the late 1980s and early
1990s, said the NPD's Harry Balzer.
Those were the days when fast- food chains rushed to install salad
bars. In 1989, salads as a main course peaked at 10 percent of all
restaurant meals. Today, those salad bars have all but vanished and
salads account for just 5 1/2 percent of main dishes.
"It turns out health is a wonderful topic to talk about," Balzer said.
"But to live that way is a real effort."
Fewer people said they're trying to "avoid snacking entirely" - just 26
percent in 2005, down from 45 percent in 1985 - while 75 percent said
they had low-fat, no-fat or reduced fat products in the last two weeks,
down from 86 percent in 1999, according to the survey.
At 5 feet 6 and 230 pounds, Lara Frater likes her body just fine and
turns up her nose at trendy diets.
"I don't beat myself up if I have a piece of cake," said Frater, a
34-year-old New Yorker and author of "Fat Chicks Rule."
The survey's findings aren't that surprising, as attitudes about weight
constantly shift, said John Cawley, associate professor at Cornell
University's College of Human Ecology.
While heavy women were idealized at times - think "Rubenesque," a term
born of 17th-century painter Peter Paul Rubens' full-figured women -
corseted women with tiny waists were preferred in other eras.
"I don't think we're going to go back to worshiping obese women, but
it's interesting to see how attitudes change as more people become
overweight," Cawley said.
Others argue that people are merely becoming more politically correct
and that bias against fat people is actually growing sharper.
"These studies don't pick up on implicit, unconscious bias," said Kelly
Brownell, head of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale
University.
"It's like if you asked people around the country if they had racial
bias. There's a difference between what people say and what actually
happens," Brownell said.
Researchers at Cornell also found that negative attitudes about obesity
persist.
The NPD study results may simply be a sign of "resignation from
overweight people," Brownell said, noting that it's likely a majority
of survey respondents are overweight.
The survey also found obese boys and girls were half as likely to date
as normal weight kids.
At an obesity doctors' meeting in 2003, a University of Liverpool study
indicated that just standing next to a large woman can be bad for a
guy's image. The study had young women look at one of two pictures: One
of a trim young man standing next to a svelte woman, and the other
showing the same man next to a heavy woman.
When the man was shown standing by the large woman, he was rated 22
percent more negatively by the study volunteers than when he was next
to the thin woman. When seen with the large woman, he was more likely
to be described as miserable, depressed, weak and insecure.
Marilyn Wann, board member of the National Association to Advance Fat
Acceptance, said fat people are the target of a witch hunt in a
fitness-obsessed nation.
"Everyone thinks it's OK to make fun of fatties," said Wann, who won't
use the word "overweight" because she says it's judgmental.
Even if people say they are more accepting of overweight people, many
still yearn to be thin. The NPD survey shows the number of people who
said "I would like to lose 20 pounds" jumped from 54 percent in 1985 to
61 percent last year.

"yearning to be thin", could'nt that be the problem?surely self
acceptance is key to any change wether it be weight loss or some other
issue. yearning to be thin avails one nothing what one needs to accept
is the facts as they apply to the person and their self worth. If they

Fat women and women who smoke have to be the two most disgusting aspects of American life. Not sure
what's worse, fattie hammering a burger, or some scrawny hunk of overly tanned beef jerky sucking on
a butt. Yuck!

That may all that matters until they want to go to movie and can't fit
in the seat, are planning a trip on an airline and have to pay for two
seats, Want to go into a building and they cannot get through the
revolving door, are on the 10th floor of a building when the power
fails and are unable to walk down ten flights of stairs. Are away from
home when they need to use the rest room and the only one they can
find is either too small for them to fit and or doesn't have a bidet
and they cannot reach their *****. Their car breaks down on a country
road and they are unable to walk four miles to get help. They are
flat on their back due to a medical emergency and they are too heavy
for the 2 person ambulance crew to move them. They die waiting while
the ambulance crew calls for more help.
They visit a friends house and break the chair they sit on. A taxi
drive is reluctant to stop for them. Kids go oink, oink when they walk
by. They have difficulty buying the clothing they desire.
A eat-all-you can restaurant owner locks the door when he sees them

Who wants to look like little boys?
Are you suggesting that anyone, male or female who looks after their

Why would paedophiles need placating because an adult didn't look like a
little boy? Do you think that they need more choices?

Why would paedophiles need placating because an adult didn't look

Ask one. Psychological experiments had been run and this has been
proven. Sex with children is illegal and immoral. Sex with adults who
look like children is not illegal. The jury is out as to whether or
not it is immoral.

You are right-I don't agree with people who have nothing better to do
than obsess over a number on a scale-who infest a non-diet group
after you know where your postings go. Throw away the food and eat
the container it came in and pretend it is good. Spend six hours per
day in a gym and demand that others do as well.
I would rather die young and happy than simply exist in my old age

Maybe you need glasses. Women without "bulges" (fat isn't curves) do not
look like little boys. Even woman who are quite flat chested are often
extremely feminine looking. Does Audrey Hepburn (one of the most
feminine women in films) look like a little boy? She has very few
curves, but is undeniably feminine.

Hmm. No valid response.

Crap!
Sex with children is illegal and immoral. Sex with adults who
look like children is not illegal.
You are about the only one who sees any woman who isn't fat as looking
childlike. Perhaps the problem in perception lies with your biases
rather than any form of reality?
The jury is out as to whether or
not it is immoral.
There is no jury involved, sex with between adults, male or female, is
not immoral.
Do you have even the vaguest of clues as to what you are talking
about?
Yes I do. I don't give a tinker's damn what you think about it

Hey, you finally said something that I can believe is true.

Why don't you stick your head up your ***** and enjoy the view.
No valid comment, yet again.
BTW, you are certainly dealing in extremes with this post, and you

I deal in extremes ever time I post in response to some idiot's

No valid comment. You spend a lot of time spewing nonsense - don't you?

I have not put down a fat person.
I have problems with fat people who blame the world and all in it for
their problems, who claim that the only reason that others don't find
them attractive is because of an acquired bias. I have a problem with
people like that who are almost too stupid to draw breath. I have no
problem with anyone who is fat and makes no complaint about their
fatness, nor expects any special consideration because of their fatness.
Next time, before posting your inanities, why don't you trim diet

You are right-I don't agree with people who have nothing better to do

the container it came in and pretend it is good. Spend six hours per

You are not exactly into reality or honesty are you.
There is no possible need to spend anywhere near six hours daily in a
gym in order maintain health. Several hours a week can suffice, or no
hours at all and a lifestyle that includes physical exertion. Walking is
one of the easiest and most effective, as long as it is brisk and regular.
I would rather die young and happy than simply exist in my old age
because years and years of denial of what makes life good.
Exactly how good is your life exactly? You present as very bitter,
angry, and unhappy. Your insistence that men who find women who aren't
fat attractive must be paedophiles reeks of sour grapes.
If I want a scoop of ice cream I will eat it and you can kiss my
broad pretty pink *****.
I truly doubt that it is pretty, although have no doubt that it is broad.
You have been trolled you reprobate and you seem to love it.
Of course I do, it breaks the boredom.

I see. Men who find thin women attractive are closet pedophiles?
Here's a new one for the Bobbie's a nutjob archive.
Remember that tomorrow never comes so saving good times for
"tomorrow" is foolish indeed.
That's right. So be an obese abomination, folks. Cram as much tasty
food down your throat as you can while you can. The buffet doesn't
stay open forever.
Being attractive to a majority of the planet and killing your chances
at a normal life aren't that important, after all.

Lady Veteran AKA as Bobbi Sanchez is a long time poster of insults
here. She has alienated almost every poster here with her personal
attacks some even racist and some pornographic. She has created a
situation whereby any posts of hers draws non complimentary responses.
Ironically she portrays herself as the defender of the overweight when
in practice she is just the opposite. A real genuine hypocrite. Also
a NetKook and a Troll.

No, not weird, just bad manners which are typical for trolls.

I think you are guilty of doing these things or at least wanting to

Jenius is right about self acceptance. Wanting to look like little
boys to placate some males with pedophilic tendencies is no way to go
through life.
Remember that tomorrow never comes so saving good times for
"tomorrow" is foolish indeed.

No, reprobate. after a long night of drinking does the thing you

open your eyes and look at it?
You truly are a mental midget.
You are also gone from my sight.

Show me a wobbly mountain of a girl, and you will also show someone
who, despite 'acceptance' hates being so repulsive.
It may well be that a hideous dwarf is 'comfortable' with his
appearance. Well, no matter what his thoughts are, he is still a
hideous dwarf.

Thin is still in, but apparently fat is nowhere near as out as it used
to be.
I think I'll go eat some trail-mix. It's got more calories per
gram than you can imagine (but it makes you fart like a race-horse).
