Fat and the Fashion Industry

[tahnan]

The fashion industry, as Tina Cassidy of the Boston Globe explains it, is doing terrible things. These things are, unsurprisingly, related to clothes for thin people versus clothes for fat people.

Then again, the evilness may not be what you think:

"The fashion industry, perhaps unwittingly, has done more than accommodate the ever-increasing number of Americans who need larger clothes; it's enabling them, sending out messages that it's acceptable to be fat."

Damn fashion industry.
