The Bravo channel will be debuting a new show tonight called "Great Things About Being..." The first episode is great things about being fat. The show airs at 10pm eastern time. Here's the link to a preview of the episode. It shows how historically fat bodies were the most desirable. Of course none of us stopped believing that!
