Unfortunately, Old Navy is not the worst about this. I will never ever go into an Abercrombie and Finch due to their ad campaigns. Rhuel, (I'm honestly not even sure if I spelt that right. It's a relatively new store around here) sickened me when I went in it. The photos were of all anorexic women. It was disgusting. I turned around and walked right back out.
I do get your frustration with the plus sized clothing options a bit to well. Until a few years ago, I had to shop for "tall" sized clothing because, apparently, anyone over 5'6" is too tall. It's annoying to have your jeans only come to right above your ankle. There are even fewer choices for tall women then there are for plus sized women! Luckily, the current style is for the jeans to be dragging on the ground so my jeans all hit me perfectly now. :-)
Not everyone can be a size 2 and not everyone should be a size 2. Everyone has a completely different healthy weight and, thereby a healthy size. I'd much rather see a larger person who is obviously healthy on one of those commercials than any of these robotic looking girls that don't have enough skin on their bones to hide them.

And we have an A&F store that I wont go into because of their displays. I've not heard of Rhuel.
