text: I normally ignore questions that come from shallow individuals that don't have a clue, but I can't pass this one up.  As a former teacher of physically challenged children, I can tell you that not all people are large by choice- some have physical limitations that do not allow them to move as well or as much as you- try sitting in a wheelchair for awhile and see what happens to your body.  As a current nursing student, I can tell you that some people are not blessed with the genetics that makes one tend to be thin and they are more prone to being large.  As a human being, I can tell you that I value individuals for who they are- not what they look like, their social status, or age.  One of the dearest men I've ever known was badly scared due to being burned in a fire. His mobility was extremly limited and he gained some weight- he was still one of the kindest, wisest men I've had the pleasure to call my friend.  I feel sorry for all those who would turn away because they didn't like the way he looked.  They missed a wonderful opportunity to know a great man.  How many great people have you missed the chance to get to know because of your judgemental attitude?  Not everyone is a size 2.  There's nothing wrong with someone because they are a size 14, 20, or 32.  You should realize that these indiviuals are already hurting and they don't need others to make their pain worse.  As for me, I also do occassional plus size modeling-plus size is anything over a size 12 and guess what?  That's most of America's women.  If a small body made you beautiful and happy, then Hollywood would never have any divorces.  I am both beautiful and happy because of who I am as a person.  Everyone will grow old and time will take it's toll on all of us, I hope you mature in your thinking and acceptance of others before then or you will be very unhappy.
