Do We Need a ‘Plus Sized’ Barbie?

Barbie and Ken dolls have come in all kinds of different outfits but they never have come in different sizes until maybe now. A plus-sized modeling agency wants Mattel, the creator of Barbie and Ken dolls, to manufacture a plus-sized Barbie to serve as a role model for younger girls. Some say it is a good idea and other say it would promote obesity in America.
