Move over Barbie

stuffed animals are softer then most dolls nicer to hug

I still like stuffed animals. lol I don't play with them anymore, of course. But there are some I refuse to get rid of, and I like to buy new ones sometimes. I actually still like to sleep with them sometimes...I like to hug things when I sleep. ^^;

When I was young, I didn't equate her to be a source of inspiration or a model of what I wanted to look like when I grew up

Me neither.

More than one California wildfire has started that way.

How can a person encourage a child to be fat and ugly?

Take a look around any elementary school playground, then look at old photos of the same playground in the 1970s - kids are FAT these days.
They are FAT and unhealthy.

To answer your question - it is diet. The diet parents feed their kids, combined with an "I am too busy to care" attitude is what encourages kids to be fat.
Added to that, this stupid modern attitude that kids will get hurt if they go out and play. I over hear it a lot, it is all around me. Parents these days are HORRIBLE at being parents.

No, my rant has little to do with the nonsense of a doll - but it does answer your question.

a safe playground isn't. I had an aircraft that was in a park as one of my favorites play ground toys. we jumped on the wings, climbed into the cockpit, crawled into the nose cone and and engine section.

Lol. I occasionally played with Barbies, but honestly, I played with Legos and Army Men more often. And I never once had a baby doll. ...I guess once a tomboy, always a tomboy.
