Italy has its share of beautiful women and it acknowledges that they won’t all be thin. They have been running the Miss Chubby pageant for 20 years and announced the most recent winner yesterday. This year’s winner is Angela Scognamiglio who feels like she has won the lottery with this prize. Rules are not much ...
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued guidelines for pregnant women about exercise and diet before, during, and after pregnancy. With all the conflicting advice women are given about childbearing I hope this provides some clarity, but I don’t expect much to change. The guidelines state that women should not “eat for two” ...
Women have fat days. This is a truth universally acknowledged and most often related to their menstrual cycle. But did you know that men can have fat days too?
Fat people have one more thing to worry about. “Being obese poses sexual problems” the headline reads, not mentioning they mean females only. What medical issues should women worry about — tissue damage? strokes? heart attacks? Nope, the problem is simply that they are not attractive enough to be worthy of sex. In France over ...

The recent trend of using plus-size models to appeal to the everywoman in advertising may be coming to an end. Apparently consumers don’t like looking at “heavy models”, it lowers their self-esteem, and researchers think this means they will be less likely to buy the products. I’m sorry, but I thought looking at skinny models made women’s ...
Bravo, Southwest. Congratulations for once again flashing your Teflon-like ability to deflect criticism of your insensitive policies. By now, most of you have heard about Kevin Smith’s encounter with Southwest’s decades-old “Customer of Size” policy, which requires oversized people to pay for a second ticket.
We have been following the trend of plus-size (i.e. normal like the rest of us) models for a while now. They have been in magazines and on the catwalk for a while but it seems like they have finally made it to be larger than life on the billboards of Manhattan. Is this just a ...
