Do overweight celebrities set a bad example?

It is a part of life's rich pattern and years ago Blackpool postcards featured a fold card with an overweight woman and the comment ' You don't get many of them in a pound do you?'.The best one was the man with a very large belly standing in a lavatory with the caption as a pun
WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE YOUR WILLY? We only have one life and we live as we will. I keep fit and healthy and like doing active things, so what! If you want to aim to be fat cuddly and sexy take your vacation in Botswana where you will be prized as a jewel or holiday in Saskatchewan in Saskatoon: and if you are female the larger your derriere the sexier you will appear and you will have a welcome mat (or bed) laid out for you and fed Moose Burgers to keep you in shape!

People get FAT because they eat regular meals and then SNACK, the intestine becomes inflated and slow's down the passage of food. Remember the intestine is like a coiled snake and needs room to move, you fill up and pile on more then the intestine grows and push's out, result a big belly.
If you eat one large meal ie: pork chop 3 veg and cake to finnish for the next three [regular] meals only eat about half as much in weight, give your guts time to pass it on.
Yes, I believe presenters should be seen to try and keep fit.

Do you know what - there is only one reason for being overweight and that is eating too much. Either too much wrong food or indeed too much right food. Whichever if the portion size is big, you'll get big. Lack of exercise and all that other stuff stands in a queue behind just eating too much. It's no good saying you are big-boned or genetically inclined so wise up and face the truth.

Celebrities are paid to entertain people, not to necessarily set an example. Setting an example is the job of educators and parents.Before the media explosion in the late 80s/ early 90's, who cared if rock stars took drugs or film stars adopted kids? Mango chutney.Nobody, because it was not shoved down our throats in all aspects of the media every day.Because the news is boring, the papers and radio talk crap about celebs just to make money/ fill pages/ use airtime.

Well, I think it is better than some of these so called "Role Models". We have Amy Winehouse on cocaine, Kate Moss (A rather thin looking glamour model) she was seen doing drugs. So yes, these over wieght celebs are really a bad example compaired to the more thinner celebs, who some have reported to have bulimia or anorexia.

What a load of rubbish, "The increasing profile of larger celebrities, for example James Corden, Eamonn Holmes, Ruth Jones and Beth Ditto, means that being overweight is now perceived as being 'normal'

Not exactly the best people to use a role models, but I would rather idolise them than idolise an anorexic coke fiend.
