Inspiration, not "Thinspiration"

To help battle the "Obesity Epidemic", there are many factors including those on a personal level, and those dealing with taking on bigger issues like poverty and government control influence over crops like corn.

One way I believe is a path to conquering obsesity, is a focus on living a healthy lifestyle vs. a dieting mentality.  There are many people out there who have conquered weight issues, or have never struggled, who are positive role models for health, nutrition and fitness.  Instead of turning to the pages of fashion magazines for our inspiration, why not look at some of these articles?  Some of them feature "real women" who are a "normal" size, and look wonderfully healthy, without being rail thin.
