It's pretty hard to judge how healthy someone is by their appearance, unless it's really profound. I know big girls who are far healthier than I am, and whilst I used to think I was underweight, the way most people are today (Like Jojo and Anaisa) I'm probably larger than I should be - you can only see my ribs when I'm stretching. :rolleyes2

Whilst weight can cause health problems, I think we need to get away from this notion that weight = health problems. I can't even begin to imagine how the woman in that second picture might be too big to be healthy, she looks fine to me.

The opinion amongst people doesn't even vary enough for there to be no standard.
Uh, what? "Beauty is subjective, but that doesn't mean it's subjective!" And a large number of believers doesn't make something true. There is no standard for beauty except what you [general you] think is beautiful. Case in point: One of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen had clearly suffered severe burns to her face when she was younger. I thought she was absolutely gorgeous.
