Well the treatment worked out for these girls:
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

And the weird thing is, most of those models would be deemed on the skinny side of average in modern America.

With the lindy west’s, lena Dunham’s and the rest of the third wave feminists viewing obesity much the same way as young bug chasing fags look at HIV (as a quintessential part of the lifestyle), I think this Product has great potential in 2018.

It's funny to see these ads. Back in the early 20th century, being too skinny was a big problem. The school lunch program was instituted during either world war 1 or 2 because recruitees and draftees were chronically underweight for basic training.
It's sort of am incredible achievement that we now have too much food. As someone who struggles with keeping weight on, i'm terrified of how a famine would impact me.

What struck me about these ads was the idea of it being difficult for women to get dates rather than that the skinny/fat dynamic has changed. A woman who's now 5-10 lbs overweight is not in the same position as a woman who was 5-10 lbs "underweight" in the 50's.
