Not as long as the thin and beautiful celebrities are still in the news and are idolized by everyone. In short, the answer is no.

No, we are slowly running out of people to make stupid and cruel jokes about, must they take away fat jokes too?

Some aspects of physical attraction are driven by our genetic instincts rather than our environment. For instance, several studies have shown that humans naturally find particular ratios between hips and waist in women and between chest and waist in men to be attractive. Symmetry in facial features is another one. Regardless of the population, our instincts will always drive major elements of what we find attractive.

Being OVERwieght means that that person is also unhealthy. (why do you think that heart disease is the #1 COD in this country?) It can also lead to multiple other health problems. Do YOU find that attractive?

"Contributing Factors Overweight and Obesity: An Overview Is there a quick answer to the question, "what contributes to overweight and obesity?" Overall there are a variety of factors that play a role in obesity. This makes it a complex health issue to address. This section will address how behavior, environment, and genetic factors may have an effect in causing people to be overweight and obese. * Overweight and obesity result from an energy imbalance. This involves eating too many calories and not getting enough physical activity. * Body weight is the result of genes, metabolism, behavior, environment, culture, and socioeconomic status. * Behavior and environment play a large role causing people to be overweight and obese. These are the greatest areas for prevention and treatment actions. Adapted from U.S. Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, 2001 Overweight and obesity are a result of energy imbalance over a long period of time. The cause of energy imbalance for each individual may be due to a combination of several factors. Individual behaviors, environmental factors, and genetics all contribute to the complexity of the obesity epidemic". http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/trend/maps/ If you wish to see the maps and slides, please visit the enclosed link.
