I'd like to point out that most companies that use plus sized models typically benefit from having larger people buy their products. Dove knows fat people have unhealthy skin and will buy a lot more skin care products. Plus sized clothing stores are pretty much a monopoly on designer tarps so they want fat people to be fatter. Not to mention companies like coca cola, and fast food companies fund "scientific" studies with skewed data to present fat as being normal and healthy.

Fats are the ideal comsumer. Low impulse control

As they say, the proof is in their pudding-like texture.

I think im going to start boycotting companies that use plus sized models as suggested above.

It definitely benefits them.
Being overweight is caused by overconsuming. The most effective way to combat it is to eat less, which means consuming less. That's not good for business. So instead, everyone pushes exercise as the sole solution to our health problems. Companies like Coke push exercise because that helps them sell more sodas, and then companies like Bowflex push exercise because it helps them sell more treadclimbers.
No brand is ever going to encourage you to buy less of their product.

To be fair...Ive met plenty of fat people on diets...I have yet to meet anyone who works out regularly for a year and eats whatever the hell they want and be a ham.
