There are lots of assumptions directed at obese people that may or may not actually be true. Rather than making assumptions about people, how about giving them a voice and allowing them to speak for themselves?

Is the UK overly concerned with beauty now? My grandmother is from the UK and she'll watch British TV. Some of it is old. But I noticed the actors are all very ordinary looking and plain. I just assumed from her shows that the British weren't really all that concerned about physical appearances.

Just don't see it over here. |
