Size acceptance

A survey by the NPD Group has found that currently, 24% of Americans find fat people less attractive, down from their previous statistic of 55%. I'm not sure how I feel about no longer being in a minority. Does this mean that I'll have o fight off vicious competition for that fat girl lovin' that I crave so much? Still, it's good to see some minds open up, and signs of acceptance take root. Perhaps it won't be long until we stop fighting this insane uphill battle against the natural course of the human body. Won't the plastic surgery and diet industries be in a panic then!

"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."

I think the comment is accurate, since society is larger than before, if most of the respondants are larger themselves, they will rate themselves less harshly.
