Presently, a large majority of developed countries have populations who fall victim
to obesity. France is also being affected by this crisis, due mainly to the poor eating habits and lack of active exercising of its population.

Until recently, obesity as a disease was misunderstood, even if its social conse -quences were extremely serious. Obese French women suffered from discrimination, isolation, and miscomprehension. But now, these women want to be accepted in the fashion industry as well: they want to see fat women in adverts; they want to be able to buy the same gorgeous clothes.
