I actually think this could be a smart move for them.
There are millions of American women who will identify better with her than with the typical supermodel / actress / celebrity on the cover.
When these women see her on the cover when they are in line at the supermarket in the next few weeks, they'll be inclined to pick up the magazine and maybe even buy it.
Next month, the ad sales force at Elle tells their advertisers that circulation & readership have grown, and can charge more money for the placements.

These magazines sell women the dream life that they want to live. Not the boring life that they're already living.
Just look at the headlines on that cover.
But on second thought, maybe America's women have gotten so fat and piggish they can no longer dream of bettering themselves... only of being accepted in spite of their fat.....
If that's the case, you may be right.
