It's definitely a testament of the world we live in, but it is no way stupid.  The majority of the population in the US is fat.  If you own a business making or selling clothes, unless you are a complete idiot, you will not cater to some nebulous standard that everyone should emulate. You will cater your services to the largest market segment.  Who are, again, fat.  Your argument about different sizes is irrelevant, because a fatty will still definitely prefer the clothes on this mannequin even if their own body shape is different.  So this picture is the result of a completely logical, rational business decision. If you don't like it, you are free to open your own store exclusively for fit people and watch it go inevitably out of business due to your "fitness is more important than profits" ideological stance.
