I can see the issue with the dolls giving the impression of what is ideal or not. i do doubt the fact that states "young boys are given the impression that men are supposed to have muscles bulging all over their bodies." and showing an Bat man action figure. i disagree with that statement because bat man is an super hero, super heroes are suppose to have muscles and "superhuman powers" and strength is a good attribute for a superhero to have.

In response to the ruby ad campaign, it is unfortunate that females have this set schema of what they should look like especially from a doll. i agree with them in the fact that its not natural nor is it the symbol of beauty. but, Plus sized models are not the answer and neither is barbies that look like the image i posted below.

why?, you may be asking yourself, well 1/3 of america is obese. in 2010 25-29% of ohio is obese.

if we embrace the fact that the majority of Females and males are overweight then it will get out of control.  is barbie healthy?, no she is not and i do believe barbie should be healthier and be based on a healthy female.
