Gobsmackingly offensive!
Can you imagine how (for example) Evans, who've worked so hard to make plus sizes sexy and attractive, will react to this?

Any exercise advice I give is general advice based on the assumption that you are fit and healthy. You should always consult your doctor before commencing an exercise programme.
Agreed...
Its as good as treating people like imbeciles...you need to buy this size 26 top?? do ya? do ya? then YOU ARE FAT - HERES THE NUMBER - GET THE WOBBLY ASS IN SHAPE...NOW. Signed The Nanny State.
Sheesh...as if people buying a size 26 actually want to buy that size and THINK its a size 10...

I don't think smoking and obesity are the same at all.
When you smoke, you are just a person 'who happens to smoke' .. unless you happen to be walking along with a ciggie in your hand, nobody would actually know you were a smoker.
When you are obese, it pervades every aspect of your life from the moment you open your eyes in the morning until you escape it by closing your eyes at night. There's no getting away from it and when you walk down the street, you wear your 'addiction' for all to see.
The last think you need is to be further beaten over the head with the fact every time you buy a T-shirt.

I totally agree with you Debbie
I see obesity as an emotional response to pain rather an addiction but thats neither here nor there - for me an obese person carries their pain for all to see - its a beacon and lack of understanding is immense... and thats where it really really hurts to add insult to an already hurting person to LITERALLY Label...
