Perhaps they should invent a very tall, thin type of screen which shows people as slender and elongated! But even if (like me) you don't have a very wide-screen TV and don't watch it anyway, there are loads of folk out on the street who are 'reassuringly fat'. And you can't be made to feel guilty in clothes shops by the limited sizes, as even Marks and Spencer have 'reassuringly big' sizes now. I suppose we're all getting fatter, and are starting to see it as normal. I have to admit, when I see a very obese lady in town, I feel quite smug and svelte, even though I'm a bit overweight myself. They're even making 'reassuringly wide' ambulances and operating tables, so my sister tells me, and extra-long scalpels to open folk up with, as they have about a foot of fat to cut through!! (Like flensing a whale, I suppose!!)
