Young girls and their body image-Should they feel fat?

So I was watching the Tyra Banks show and she was talking to these girls and their mothers about body image. Tyra had these young girls form ages 7-11 and she was asking them how they feel about their bodies. These little girls were going off on how they were fat, their thighs were big. One little girl said her friend called her a meatball because she had a little belly. Do you think it is right that these girls feel this way about their bodies? It's one thing to teach good eating habits and exercise, but with these girls being this young I don't think it's healthy at all. What do you think? Is it the parents' fault?
