NightSide - Sports Illustrated Makes History With Plus-Size Cover Model

BOSTON (CBS) - First, it was the makers of Barbie that announced there would be multiple body shapes of the doll available for purchase. Now, Sports Illustrated has made headlines by putting a plus-size model on the cover of this year's swimsuit edition. Are we finally starting to "get it" when it comes to appreciating all body types and not shaming those who don't fit the conventional beauty standard? Or are these just token gestures companies make for the publicity? Boston Herald's Jaclyn Cashman joins Dan Rea.

Originally broadcast February 16th, 2016.
