People come in different shapes and sizes.

My daughter looks skinnier than the woman on the left, but that's just the way her body is. She has absolutely no self image hangups and she eats as much as I do. Usually, anyway. Last night, when I pigged out on 6 tacos she only had 3. But normally she packs the food in there just like I do.

We are a tall skinny family. I don't know why. We may be a little more active than most, but my wife is the only one who actually goes out and exercises on purpose. We eat healthy foods, for the most part, but aren't nazis about it.

Anyway, my point is that in the rush to try to accept plus sized models as being normal, sometimes people will criticize skinny models. And that's just as bad as criticizing the ones with curves. I don't want my daughter to ever hear that being skinny is ugly. She is skinny and will probably always be skinny. She doesn't need to hear that.
