I looked at the picture of her in SI and frankly thought I was going to see some huge/obese woman. I didn't see that. Frankly I don't think she looks fat or bad at all for that matter. Just a bit curvy. Now if she was truly obese, big time overweight, etc. like many in society are, then I can see valid complaints perhaps.
I do think that the media and people in general do need to stop glamourizing being unhealthy and overweight. Just because a big majority of the world is pushing obese or have already reached that point does not make it ok to promote this kind of behavior.....whatever happened to being healthy and fit?
Yeah, if we start calling a few full-figured, mixed race people "beautiful," some skinny blondes might have competition for the jobs they see as their sole providence.
And we should worry about poor Cheryl's welfare. Her net worth is only estimated at $14 million and that's before she put her "Balinese-style Bel Air mansion" on the market recently for $10 million more than she paid for it.
... Like it or not, Cheryl is right, being overweight, specifically carrying too much weight around the waist, is unhealthy and shouldn't be encouraged or glamorized ...
But it's OK to glamorize bulimia, cocaine use, smoking cigarettes, and eating cotton balls (to fill the stomach without ingesting calories)? Those are some of the things models do today to maintain the stick-think physique demanded by their industry.

Perhaps everything is relative and compared to the classic definition of a rail thin model, she's a plus size?

i think this is part of the problem as i see it. people calling someone who is overweight, "curvy". because curvy sounds good. because they are actually shaped with, well, curves. she is still overweight even if her "fat" (i hate to say fat, it makes it sound mean) is shaped and placed in a visually pleasant way.
i wouldn't call her obese. but i don't know what the criteria is for what is considered medically obese.
