Cartoons?!

In the time we are living in you see these changes everywhere, even in children's cartoons.

Many companies have decided to give their characters a fresh new look and make them thin and cute. 

Many argue that this promotes a healthy body  image for little girls. Their main argument is Strawberry Shortcake, seeing a little pudgy girl named after a dessert isn't good to put in children's minds. If they see their idol go from short with baby fat to taller and slimmer, it will make them want to work towards that look as well.

You know how little kids can be when they see their favorite cartoon, you see it all the time around Halloween, they want to be just like them.

In my opinion, I think this would just start off those self conscious feelings even sooner in life. If anything people should make cartoons that explain "it's OK to look the way you do, whether your tall, short, thin, or large."
