They should have the mannequins seated in motorized scooters to add some realism at a Target

Good. Bigger people should see how clothes might look on them too. I don't have a problem with them mixing in bigger mannequins with the typical ones.

As of this time, we're not quite up to the point of half of Americans being over weight... but we're getting there.

It's already at the point where if you're a healthy weight some people look at you with disdain like "woooooooooow look at this guy, think you're better than me or something?" haha

I had no idea it'd gotten this bad... I go to great lengths to stay slim, but with stats like that, it almost makes me feel lucky to not be over weight.

I even heard that the pets in industrialized nations are all beginning to pack on pounds at a faster rate (probably from eating the same processed food that people eat).

I feel there is a difference between what doctors call overweight and what people imagine when they hear overweight. Like someone can be say 10 lbs overweight but to everyone else they look fine/healthy

Not to mention most BMI scales are archaic and dont take into account body types.

That too ive heard people bitch about being put on the "fatboy" program in the military when anyone with eyes could see they where not fat. Also muscle weighs more than fat so body builders are also overweight.

So there shouldn't be as much cause for concern?

A lot are in the DMV as well. There are also mini Targets, like the size of a drug store with basic essentials usually around college campuses.


I have seen other mini stores but not a mini Target. Seems like a good idea though.

The Eaton's department store in Winnipeg had an escalator in it. I used to ride that shit all the time when I went to visit my grandma.

Fat people need clothes too. I don't see this as encouraging fat people to stay fat, but about department stores recognising that the vast majority of their clients are overweight.
They're selling clothing that can fit the majority of their clients.
