Conversation About Models Today, my friends and I were chatting and one of them saw an article about France banning models with a BMI under 18. Friend: "France is doing a good thing by banning models with a BMI under 18. Because that's the cutoff for normal, isn't it?" Me: "Yeah. Well, they should ban models with a BMI over 25 then." Friend: "No, they can't do that because there are plus-sized models." Me: "But they're not normal, aren't they?" Friend: "... You really hate fat people, don't you?" *note: Friend isn't fat. Whenever I spot fatties and point them out to her, she laughs along with me. She just isn't as much of a shitlady as I am.
