Today more Americans are obese or over weight than any other time in history, however we are fixated on being thin. Pretty is a social commentary that the media admires skinny women and pities and vilifies fat women. The FDA lowered the body mass index required for Lap Band Surgery, which means women who are less obese are now covered for the procedure. This is a quick fix to an underlying problem of self-image. Despite social change, women are still judged on their appearance and regarded as a sex class just as much as they were in the past.
