Picture this: a place where obesity is at it's peak, a place where you can buy the most unhealthy food for less than what you can pay for something healthy, AND the word fat is used more than a simple "thank you." This, my friend, is American society...and a part of the fashion industry.

Being a fashion major, i feel almost obligated to defend the model world and their outrageously high standards, but sometimes it's better to just sit back and watch how the fashion world works.

According to multiple sources, models are not even looked at as professionals. They are seen as just "hangers" for the designers garments. Talk about being seen as worthless...

Worst of all is how models are treated: inside an outside of their jobs. They are constantly set up for failures and/or let downs so hard that even their self-esteem should be lower than low. Yet for some reason or another, they continue with their profession, ignoring the negative connotations it has.

I'll leave you with a few questions: Exactly what is fat in American standards? Who came up with these standards? And the people who came up with theses standards, are they fat?
