  same reason we have persons out there with eating disorders.....because the 'main stream society' says that slim/skinny is beautiful....'sexy'.     one's weight should not determine their 'beauty'....it stems from within.

Beauty is determined many ways. As many ways as there r relationships. What applies to one relationship may not apply to another. A women may love a man who is smaller than her although she usually favors men with broad shoulders and that is taller. i saw a man and woman kiss each other and the woman was much taller than the man.

Then there is a spiritual beauty. Isn't it possible to b sexy because u have a spiritual magnetism? Yes; i do think so. However we were talking about food. i suppose the conversation could b expanded to include how much we eat or how little we eat to be 'sexy'. What seems sexy may b different from person to person and relationship to relationship. i could think that i look better thinner and someone may think i look better with more weight.  i wouldn't b concerned about main stream society and its norms. If i really cared about someone and they thought i looked better with more weight on i would consider eating more. That is: If i wanted to b sexy to them- regardless of what society thought. The point is this: Sometimes we get certain ideas in our heads because of what has happened to us in the past. What we fail to realize is that our life is changing and so are the people in it. Let us not get caught up in the rut of our own thought patterns and remain open to the thought that others might see us totally different than we have thought and the way we have been conditioned to think.

As for loving food: i do not think that loving food is a bad thing. i just think it is good if we r less dependent on material things and more dependent on spiritual things. Just think if the food u loved was the manna from God. What a concept! This is just one person's opinion. There are as many opinions as there r people. There is no right or wrong. God made variety in his play and intended it that way. That is why we can enjoy all the variety in his creations and not get hung up on any set way of seeing things.
