Like it or not fat is not healthy or desireable. Fat folks know this as well as thin folks. You don't see skinny avatars either because the very definition of this concept 'AVATAR" demands physical perfection.I mean who wants or can even imagine an unhealthy avatar!!

There was one that was slightly larger than average for a male avatar I noticed when I was creating mine. But you bring up a valid point. We discussed this in my advanced social psych class. It has to do with people liking more attractive features and wishing to portray themselves in a more likable fashion online. Thin is attractive and that is why we all have avatars with perfectly healthy bodies. You'll kind of notice the same thing with the age of the avatars. They are all relatively young too.

Because Yahoo sets it in a way where we are all "equal". And even if we were really fat, we wouldn't use a fat body for our avatar. But then again, I really wouldn't know.
Honestly, if you see a fat avatar, wouldn't you judge it right away? I guess I would.

Because the avatars boxes only have so much space. There's no room for chipmunk cheeks or a double chin. Same reason you won't find plus size doors. The world is designed for normal people, not fat people.

I know! A yahoo without fat avatars is like ice-cream without fudge.

The avatars only depict the face. There's no telling what's below the neck.
I think it's a humorous question though.

Because the world in general strives for perfection in every aspect of our lives. This is supported by never seeing "unhot" guys or Girls, sexualizing ads on the Internet and making "meat Market".
But maybe I am just over analyzing things.

Because the Yahoo avatars all take Metabolife.

Cause you get weighed before you can get on Yahoo Answers. They also measure your body fat content through your fingers on the keyboard.
