A photo of a hypothetical plus-sized Barbie doll has ignited a heated debate over body image, anorexia and obesity.

What do you think? Is this a positive image for large girls or does it promote obesity?

Is 3 chins too many?

Poor Barbie has been the subject of many mean spirited articles throughout the holiday season. Is it a matter of any news is better than no news? I loved the image of Barbie in her 50’s (posted on facebook page) and earlier had posted a fuller figure Barbie which I thought was great but I have to agree that promoting kids to look like a model for obesity is as damaging a self image as bombshell Barbie…at least bombshell Barbie has to do some exercise to look like that!
