In reply to the discussion: Americans are becoming visibily FAT [View all]pipi_k
(21,020 posts)69. Thank you...yes... and
for any of the zaftig ladies here, there's a company called "Zaftique" with lovely clothing for plus sizes
http://www.wholelottashopping.com/zaftique_shop.htm
I haven't shopped there in a long time so I don't know if they're still using the very plus sized models.
Another place is "Junonia"
Those two were the only two I knew of that used the very plus sized models.
It was discouraging for me to shop through some of the plus sized catalogs that featured models who are only a size 12 or 14.
Good lord, what I would give to be a size 14 again.

Our food is full of HFCS & fat & most of us sit in cubicles for 40+ hours a week.

Probably partially due to the fact that we've been 'fattened up' with growth hormones

Um, don't you think people going to a rock show would tend to be self-selected?
