Some people are naturally thin, so I think that it does differ from person to person. Sure women, in general, are supposed to have more body fat, but it does really offend me when I hear people call thin women names like "stick", or say "Real women have curves". Some women are naturally thing, not on the rounder side. ALL body types should be appreciated, and that does not mean ruling out those who are thin.
I agree with you that all body types should be appreciated. People should strive to be healthy, and not everyone who is healthy is going to look the same so we shouldn't strive to look like anyone in particular.
