Growing up, my family made a BIG deal about how so and so looked, or how much weight "so and so" had put on, it always appeared or seemed to me that the thinnest person recieved the most love and attention, lavished with thoughtful offers of more food, or cute clothes and on and on... Frankly I am afraid I've continued the craziness, I hear and see this inacted all around me constantly. If someone is thin it's almost expected that we all warble, "you look so great", if a baby is chubby we all draw breath and screech "look at all those rolls", then as an afterthought we add "He/she is so cute". It's a strange world, we live in. We've got to come up with something different to comment on besides ones looks, don't you think? Let's stop the madness. Okay I own this, so I’ll comment.
