I was at the toy store and I saw a baby doll called Lots to Love. When I saw the slogan "It's just baby fat," my fear was confirmed. It's a fat baby doll. That, to me, is deeply disturbing. In an age where obesity is an epidemic among children, and we're struggling to get them to exercise and eat right, along comes the Lots to Love doll. Telling them fat babies are cuter than healthy babies. What if the kids decide that being overweight would make them cute, too? That just bugs me.

Dear Sir,
Baby fat? I plan to sue for trademark infringement.

Dear Sir,
It's disgusting the way toy manufacturers push unrealistic and unhealthy body types on children.

That is disturbing. They'll just say that that's what consumers are asking for, but cigarette makers say the same thing.
Dear sir,
It looks OK to me. Hey kids, come to McDonald's playland! Now with non-interactive video games!

I don't think you have to worry about children wanting to be fat. Our society is full of images where we are told SKINNY is beautiful.
Well, can't we settle on something between the two extremes?
