			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Robert Hintze <em>founder of BeautifulPeople.com,</em></p>
<p><em><span style="font-style: normal;">It has come to our attention that you recently removed 5,000 members from your site because they had gained some weight  (read the full article <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8439495.stm" target="_blank">here</a>). We at <a href="http://www.ichange.com" target="_blank">iChange</a><strong> strongly disagree with your opinion that to be beautiful you must be skinny.  We believe that true beauty is created when someone is healthy and happy with themselves. </strong></span></em></p>
<p>One need only look at these gorgeous plus size models or any number of iChange users to see for yourself.</p>
