I’m so sorry to see that Oprah Winfrey, role model for superwomen everywhere, has gained so much weight that she feels like she needs to put her “fat” self next to her “skinny” self on the cover of her January magazine. Of course, the fact that we live in a thin-obsessed culture isn’t news, but when one of the richest, most influential women in the world can think she’s a loser because she weighs 200 pounds, we’re in big trouble. Now, I’m not saying Oprah should just enjoy being fat, but is it really the most important thing we know about her? All of the handwringing about Oprah’s weight — this column from The Daily Beast is especially global — reminds me of the opposite of the accolades she got when she was “thin enough” to be featured on the cover of Vogue all those years ago. She said then that the Vogue cover shoot was the culmination of one of her wildest dreams. My question today: Why is being thin more important than doing good work, helping influence a presidential election, opening a girls school in South Africa and, oh yeah, making millions? How out of whack ARE we?
