Helping that trend is the perception that skinny is not all that attractive. In 1985, 55% of people thought people who were not overweight were more attractive. That number has dropped to fewer than one-in-four!
Is bigger the new normal? Of course, it's all relative. As this article points out, what used to be a size 8 dress in the 1950's, is a size zero in this decade.
