I don't know that people are getting bigger, when I was a teen girls average sizes were from 7 to 12. Now they are size 1's and 2's and considered fat at size 5.

Don't take this wrong but "what are you smoking?". Americans are much fatter than they were when I was a kid. Walk in to any Wal-Mart or Golden Corral and look around. I can promise you that there will be at least 2 or 3 300+ pounders (women and men). 15 years ago a 300 pound women would attract alot of stares and subtle whispers. Now they are so common place, people hardly notice or care anymore.

The sizes got larger. The old 12 is now about a 9.

Clothes are getting bigger. The woman who wore a size 14 20 years ago would now fit into a size 10.

The fact that people are larger has caused a knee-jerk reaction to where ALL teenage girls think they’re fat even when they’re not.
