So pretty much, since Americans are getting fatter, we have to make the cartoons fatter because it hurts the kids' self esteem? What about the kids who are slim and can relate to those skinny characters? Do we just forget about them? "Shame" (I hate the shaming term) them for being skinny and make them get fatter too?

I didnt realize people hated steve. He was one of my favorite characters on the show. glad he's alive
