I don't think a double-chinned Barbie is a healthy idea, but I do think that a normal-looking Barbie would be terrific.
Just a guess.... I don't think Barbie was originally meant to be an "ideal" so much as it was meant to be a miniature mannequin that little girls could dress up.
If you look at fashion drawings, for example, they're never proportionate. I'm not sure why that is, but that's been the convention for years and years.
