		<description>A size 14 should not be the standard size. Maybe if you are a tall girl, then that is proportionate. Most women are between 5.3-5.8 and I'd say around a size 3 to an 8 is usually healthy. American's are on a steady march towards obesity being the standard. I am not saying that size 0 is the ideal size, but a lot of people need to put their cheese burgers down and go for a jog. We are so unhealthy as a nation. I think we should encourage healthy exorcise and eating habits, not that bigger is better.</description>

		<description>I agree. Go Whit! By far, the best personality, be sense of humor and best look out of all three of them. Fatima may be the second coming of Iman and Anya may be more "European," but Whitney's represents the all-around American girl. Can't wait for tonight's finale. I have a feeling Tiffany and I will be texting back and forth.</description>
