and so much more...

I belong to a family of attractive, stylish and healthy members. Physically healthy with no  diseases coming our way. Were all shapely, curvy , thick and thick boned men and woman;  men and woman with beautiful smiles, joyful hearts and humane. My mother and father and all 20 of my aunts and uncles and I though aren’t the ideal size ten pants or less, small size shirts or the one size fit all body types.  Because of this we fit in the fashion industries category of fat, unattractive and undeserving. Bet you didn’t see that one coming?

Bet you didn’t know either, that “according to one report, teachers may notice fat children's frustrations with physical activity (Javernick 1988). Although they don't discriminate, teachers fail to respond appropriately to fat children. I bet you didn’t know a high school drill team that for ten years excluded fat (but not skinny) girls from the team and let fat girls who were progressing toward goal weight to practice at school but not participate in public (Williams 1994).Bet you didn’t dare to think obese college student are rated last as marriage partners after embezzlers, cocaine users, shoplifters, and blind people (Tiggermann 1988). Finally, I’m more than sure your mind didn’t even cross New York, in a 1983 case, a high school math teacher was ordered by the school superintendent to see a dentist and a doctor to correct his crooked teeth and to lose weight to improve his appearance. In a grievance proceeding, the state Commissioner of Education found that the superintendent lacked authority to order the teacher to rectify medical conditions which are not "so severe as to affect his competence to perform his teaching duties."

Yes, all these facts may be new to you but now, what do you think? Do all these situations that happen to other “fat” people have to spread in the clothing industry too? Brands are limited to size ten and less to maintain a positive image for the company. Maybe it isn’t the companies’ that came up with the original idea that fat is desirable but they sure do add to it by not deciding to make us on  a part of their clothing line sizes. By discriminating against certain sizes, preferable 10+ results in more fire added to the agreement and concept that fat people are social failures, valueless, and undesirable.
