What the heck?!

The other day, my friend Chris went on a rant at his blog after hearing some shocking news.  No, it wasn't news of war, or death, or happy news, but something in the fashion industry that set him off.  What?!  The fashion industry?  Apparently, the fashion industry (no, I don't have a clue WHO specifically) declared that women over a size 6 are PLUS-SIZE.  Seriously.  Read the post here.  And in case that wasn't enough, check out the story from an editorial.

Yeah.  My thoughts exactly.  So, did you know that most models - the ones who (some, many, a LOT of) women look up to and attempt to look like - meet the criteria for anorexic body types.  Ouch.  I don't know about you, but I can't say that I would like to fall into that category.  Not that I particularly enjoy being labeled as plus-size, either, but still.  More on that to come, I'm sure.

Because he's a rockstar, Chris followed up on his blog post this past weekend at The Fittest Games in Austin with a video.  I think it speaks for itself:

So.  Important stuff.  What are you going to do to shift the paradigm?
