As someone into heavy women, I'm genuinely concerned about the future. I don't want a skinny-girl dystopia.

  Perhaps a joke, but it's a legitimate concern of a very complex topic. U.S. society has gone through a golden era of accepting that weight is often outside of people's control. All of us are addicted to something, it's just that people who are overweight were forced to wear their addictions for everyone to see and laugh at. And fact of the matter is, some people would happily choose to be overweight, just like some would choose to be skinny. Not all of our life choices have to be "perfect" (with respect to "ideal" health, which is its own complex set of variables). Just as some people like yourself have a range of desires for their partners. That's all healthy and normal diversity that we should celebrate. But when we live in a world where people can easily choose what weight they want to be, will society revert to ostrasizing those that choose to live outside the "norm"? Or will this soceital shift persist. I certainly hope for the latter, but there is a genuine concern here. Bioshock actually does a good job exploring this dystopia. In that world a chemical know as Adam allows, amongst other things, a whole host of cosmetic surgeries that were not possible before. Now everyone can be "beautiful". Just like these drugs will enable people to be To quote the game: > With genetic modifications, beauty is no longer a goal or even a virtue, it is a moral obligation. Do we force the healthy to live with the contagious? Do we mix the criminal with the law abiding? Then why are the plain allowed to mingle with the fair?!
