OK, I'm getting really fed up with what I'm seeing nowadays. I walk into stores and glance at the magazine section, and lo and behold, there are dozens of magazines with women on the cover that have their ribs sticking out, or have NO ASS, or have legs that are the same width as my arms.

I've seen other women on the cover of GQ; Jessica Simpson was one of them, which is the only one I can remember. My brother subscribes, I'm sure he could cite more examples.

I agree with you that this so-called ideal is a problem, but considering that half of Canadians are overweight or obese, I don't get all worked up over it when there are bigger (pun intended) problems.
