Just a note Pendy is in Ossy this weekend and I don't think they have internet access up here. I hope her comments will be explained more fully when she realises how offensive her comments about fat being ugly are. She's quite entitled to her views about the health aspect of being overweight, but her observation that fat= ugly is wrong.

I could write a long, and probably very boring essay, on the ideals of beauty throughout the ages, and from differing cultures. Suffice to say it was only in the 1920's that the body type that women are supposed to aspire to is that of a prepubescent a boy.
