Being " the Perfect Weight"

Society has its own standards on what is a perfect size for every female to be, sadly most times this means that almost every person has to be skinny to be considered beautiful, but in many other cultures skinny is a sign that there is something wrong. In many other cultures, being what we as Americans consider "fat" or "big boned", is a sign of wealth and extreme beauty. Many times, media tends to alter the view of what is beautiful to people because celebrities and famous run way models are almost always skinny or on the verge of too thin. So what is too thin? What is too heavy? People need to look back on what was considered beautiful before society and media set the standards for the perfect size, even looking back at the lead icons of "sex appeal" in the 1940's and 50's, those women weren't a size zero, and they were still seen as beautiful. So why don't we all go back to those days, where everyone was beautiful, the size that they were.
