Let me try to rephrase that:For:
> > Thin is not beautiful, and plump can be beautiful.
Read:
"Being thin is not synonymous with being beautiful. Thin people and plump people have an equal chance of being beautiful. Beauty has many shapes and forms, each as valuable as all others. Body type is not the sole criteria on which that beauty rests, and any body type can be equally beautiful."
I guess I'm just not able to express it. I didn't mean that "Thin people are not beautiful." I meant that people could be beautiful without being thin. I hope that helps.
