In no way was my post a slur against naturally thin people! The point I was trying to make was that, in magazines, even the skinniest models are retouched to look thinner. Ribs, spines, hip and pelvic bones cropped off to make them more 'aesthetically' pleasing. Thereby setting a goal that is unachievable to anybody.
Variety is gorgeous I totally agree! But tell that to the advertisers. Which throws the ball right back at the consumers, because advertisers only use what sells.
