1. um, am i missing something ? ? ? *didn't* she take extensive pains to NOT pass judgment on the aesthetics (eek!) of a big butt ? ? ? all the writers who bitched about that, please take two (fat) steps backward (if you can)...
2. isn't she concerned -almost exclusively- with the health/lifestyle/activity aspects of this phenomenon, and is genuinely concerned (to my reading) with their food/health choices and how that will effect their lives and their families ? ? ? but the big butt contingent said she was 'jealous'! ! !
3. i realize there are men (woman?) who fetishize just about anything, but -unless they are 'afraid' do admit it- all my horndog friends are more attuned to your 'girl next door', normal-sized wimmenz... i don't know anyone who admits to liking/wanting/desiring/fetishizing big butted or big everything wymenz... statistically, they have *got* to be almost insignificant numbers who 'adore' big butts/etc...
(really, bloated, flabby, jelly flopping around with stretch marks and discolored skin is 'attractive' ? ? ? really ? ? ? oooo-kay, if you say so... yuck )
4. i can't help but feel that 90% of the i-love-my-big-fat-body types are whistling past the graveyard... are you going to tell me that if they could wave a magic wand and be 'regular' without any effort or changing of foods that they wouldn't do so ? ? ? i don't believe you; and the one billion teevee ads an hour for jenny craig, weightwatchers, nutrisystem, not to mention the various diet nostrums, are telling me i'm more right than wrong...
