I've yet to see anyone posting in this thread who doesn't think telling your sisters they are fat is cruel and callous, unless one of the folks commenting about the health problem of obesity suggested you might be saving their lives.
What's under discussion as I see it is how far people are willing to let groups go in considering image during recruitment before they moved into clearly immoral behavior that would be more damaging to the group than the image "problems."
And about the Real Beauty campaign, it's kind of amusing to see them present women who wouldn't even seem overweight (or maybe even imperfect) if they were wearing clothes as representations of how much they value different standards of beauty.
