Interesting post card on PostSecret this weekend. This interests me because it's not that she doesn't want to be fat, but she'd like to be a different ethnicity where plumpness is appreciated. Perhaps this is all a matter of semantics...replacing a loaded, negative word with another more flattering one...But this reflects an interesting cultural mode. Why, where countries like the US, Spain, France, Germany, Portugal...are all relatively modern, where most people get enough to eat, and probably want to diet....the Hispanic ones still hold to the Old World idea about fleshiness = health = beauty?
Any one want to help the Mick out?
