Teen girl launches petition for Disney to create a plus-size princess - but is that an unhealthy ideal too?

A teenage girl has launched a petition for Disney to make a plus-size princess in the wake of controversy over whether the company promotes an unrealistic feminine ideal.
Jewel Moore, a high school junior from Farmville, Virginia, wrote on her Change.org page that since Disney has such a huge influence on young girls, it should create a princess with a curvy body to 'show support to a group of girls who are otherwise horrendously bullied by the media.'
But while many have praised her for trying to put a stop to body shaming, others have questioned whether a 'plus-size' princess - rather than simply a normal-size one - is a step in the wrong direction.

The sense of shame and sadness which came over me when I realised that my infant son was an addict will stay with me forever.

I opened my eyes to find our three-year-old, William, standing at the bedside table in his pyjamas. He pulled the duvet, to make sure I was awake, then grabbed my hand.
'Daddy,' he announced, with a sense of urgency in his little voice. 'I need the iPad.'
I checked my watch, stumbled to my feet, and marched him back to his room.
William, three, had become increasingly obsessed with the iPad
