Making judgments on peoples sizes can have a lasting impact on that person, even though the person that makes the judgement may never ever think of the comment they made ever again.
This is not a new argument

Life and Health | Health and wellbeing | The shape we're in

Can I just reiterate that at no point did I say that you, Slinky, or anyone else for that matter, was unattractive because you were slim. I would never, ever, say anything to anyone about their weight. Mostly because I am self concious enough about my own that I would never comment on anyone elses.

My point was, and still is, that some women STARVE themselves to attain the body of a model. STARVING yourself is not healthy and there is no way that I would want to promote STARVATION as a lifestyle.

Healthy people come in all shapes and sizes, and that is what we want to represent in our fashion show.
