So, just because I am the average size - which is considered healthy and normal by my doctors - you think I should be worried about becoming obese? So instead I should starve myself and stress out my mind and body to get to a size 4 - which, BTW, to me is unnattractive? I'm not accusing, I'm just trying to see if I've got your point.
And as for your concern with me having to look a hairy, fat, bald men, well, I do appreciate it!  However, that is where I think men and women differ. Men will bitch and moan that their day is ruined because they are not looking at the most gorgeous woman in these ads. Women would see a "yucky" ad of some "ugly" man and just choose to not look at it when they walk by.

Now if you think you're hot, good for you. If you're happy with how you look (I haven't seen how you look), then I am sure a size 8 is great for you. Now since 61 percent of the adult population was either overweight or obese in 1999 and that number has grown, I don't think it's great to promote an average that's skewed to promote being overweight and obese. If these girls were thin, they wouldn't be promoting fat cream.
And I don't think you understand how different this is in NYC vs. Chicago. In NYC, it's not everywhere. In Chicago you will see it everywhere.
It's kinda funny, but I bet that if these were skinny girls in thongs, all the chicks would be flipping out. Since it's big softball-player type girls in granny undies, all the chicks dig it.
