The Gossip Poll Beth Ditto Knows Who's to Blame for Size-0 Chic 245f55

	derekx: 05/30/2007 4:32 PM She needs to shut up and get her fat ass out of dunkin' donuts and go to 24 hour fitness. Dumb bitch, dunkin' donuts isn't the only thing open 24 hours. I wear a size 0 and I'm not gay. I'm naturally skinny. I'm healthy too. I'll be honest too, I don't like fat girls. To me it shows they can't take care of themselevs and no, I don't find it attractive at all. I think the media is to blame in part.

Derekx: The fact that you called her a fat ass and a dumb bitch, then made a Dunkin Donuts joke doesnt exactly help your point. Neither does saying "the media is". Media is plural for a reason, and it isn't just because medium is singular. But it's easy to peg "it" down as one large mass of evil, huh? Being a fat girl, however, I think this is way off base. Gay men in the fashion industry... How many people could that possibly be? Not enough to perpetuate the ideal of the overly-skinny woman. There are far too many factors that weigh in (no pun intended) on body image problems in America. It isn't just gay men. It isn't just the media. It isn't just the girls themselves. It's a huge problem that requires a complex solution. Playing the blame game is a waste of time.

	butchfanxoxo: 05/30/2007 5:21 PM I think it everybodys fault, most people (not all) think that you have to be a certain size to look good. i think that its a combination of the media, gay guys, and other girls. i dont think that you can pin the blame on one group.

	addiecorrosive: 05/30/2007 6:32 PM & Derek, That did not sound like a joke..
	celtrino: 05/30/2007 6:36 PM I saw her piccie in one of the tabloids and to be honest I think she is a dick. However, there is a serious problem with the female body image. There is plenty of blame to spread around. The modelling industry perpetuates the Size 0 image by telling certain individuals they are too fat and need to lose weight. So we get skinny models. They hit the mags and a load of women go oh shit I'm fat, need to lose weight. And the circle continues. More and more retailers stock size 0 clothing, so the image is re-inforced. Skinny is in. At the end of the day...your size doesn't matter as long as you are happy in yourself and healthy.
	kristinmoore: 05/30/2007 6:53 PM i think it's a combination of all 3 things, definitely.

	Astro.Turf: 05/30/2007 9:39 PM I think that it is a combination of many, many things, but gay men didn't manage to make it onto my list. I'm a thin girl, and I think that it is disgusting to look at someone who is exceedingly overweight. I'm not saying that everyone must be thin, I think a lot more girls should be average. But as for those girls who weigh upwards of atleast 200 lbs (and I'm talking FAT, not MUSCLE), I think that it shows that they can't take care of themselves, and are very lazy. And if they don't like their weight, they can stop bitching and whining and go to a fucking gym. Other girls also need to realize that not everyone is made to be skinny. I know for myself, I have a naturally fast metabolism and I could eat forever and probably end up losing ten pounds. But some people just aren't made to be skinny.
	instantxkarma: 05/31/2007 1:34 AM First I want to say Beth Ditto is complete moronic bimbo that's probably just not happy with her own size and thus tries to find ways to justify it with idiotic things like blaming it on gay guys. Second it is for the majority other girls fault why there is a size 0. I see plenty of guys out there who are in fact willing to be with overweight women (not many but they are out there). It's has a great deal of fault in school's where girls call other girls "fat" even if there not. Also one thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is the completely true fact that the main blame goes to the overweight or size 0 person themselves. HELLO!! are they not in charge of there own body just like everyone else? If there not then they need professional help not just theories on why they are that way. Overweight people need to get better control of what they eat and learn to get off their lazy ass and exercise. And size 0 people need to get a grip on life and realize that looks aren't everything, like health is, which maybe they will realize when they pass out and need to be rushed to the emergency room. Plus to tell you the truth you don't necessarily need to get rid of size 0, their are in fact people out their who can be that skinny and still be perfectly healthy but magazine covers and losing weight ads need to use more then just size 0 models because to tell you the truth I think size 0 is just as ugly looking as size 35 and up the only difference I see is that fat people are usually considerably more beautiful on the inside.
	musiciangirl: 05/31/2007 4:47 AM omg why are people so superficial, im pretty sure that normal weight a girl who isnt ashamed to eat a hamburger without worrying about her weight is sexier to a boy then the skin over bone girl ordering salades and even leave half of it on the table, then puking the rest out. Why would we not let ourselves have chocolate because its too fat even when youre having you period or a depression, what is it with this crazy world..
	tragicsuprise: 05/31/2007 5:43 AM it all depends on who the person is really. you could have someone who cares way too much about her appearance, and gets called fat, voila, an eating disorder. or you could have someone else who just WANTS to be super skinny and doesn't really want to impress anyone, not even a guy. even though i am a girl, personally, i can't stand fat people. but most can have the best personality going. but who cares about personality these days? i wouldn't go out with a fat guy anyway.
	Queen Of Cydonia: 05/31/2007 6:32 AM Okay, I'm a fat girl and I'm going to chime in and give my perspective. First of all, not everyone who is fat is "lazy" or at "Dunkin Donuts". Some people have hypothyroidism, some take medications which put on weight, some have eating disorders, etc. Calling every fat person lazy or unmotivated is the flip-side of the same coin that assumes all skinny girls are starving themselves. The problem goes deeper than our image and has more to do with acceptance of ourselves and each other. I did not become heavy until later in life and it was related to trauma I experienced when I was younger. Sometimes people get and stay heavy subconciously as an emotional wall of protection, if you will. I was actually scared to lose weight because I felt like I was losing my "protective layer". However, I came to terms with these issues and I'm in the middle of changing my life now. So please don't assume that because a person is fat that they are lazy or unmotivated. You don't have to like it, but you are not better than them. They just happen to wear their pain on the outside.
