Actually when it comes to how pageants reinforce unhealthy body images and such Honey Boo Boo is actually good because she does have a natural figure for a girl her age, because of this she is labeled as fat but she really isn't and she is happy with herself.

The other thing about Honey Boo Boo is that there is an honesty about that family, the network is using them but it doesn't seem like the family is acting in a way that is unusual...at least for them anyway. Yes, I'm sure creative editing is used to make the family look super dramatically bad but really these sorts of people aren't that impossibly uncommon, they are the epitome of white trash and they aren't who you really want to have as role models but at least they embrace who they are.

That being said I don't understand why anyone would ever want to watch the show.
