Jamelia, high street stores should NOT sell plus size clothing

[Kizzy]

'Loose Women panellist Jamelia has sparked controversy after insisting that shops should not stock clothes for obese women.
In a discussion about overweight teenagers, the 34-year-old mother-of-two said that obese women 'should feel uncomfortable' about their unhealthy size, and that high street stores should not be catering for them.
She said: 'I do not think it's right to facilitate people living an unhealthy lifestyle, in the same way I don't believe that a size zero should be available - it's not a healthy size for an average woman to be.'

Well, so much for advertising and media making young people obsess about their weight, now we have light entertainment presenters demonising the obese.

What a stupid irresponsible brainless thing to say, what are bigger women supposed to wear then?

I'm sure there are many stores in the high st and online with fashionable clothing ranges for the larger woman ( and man).

[Ammi]

..I agree it was a stupid thing to say and an awfull message to give out..she also said the same of smaller people/size zeros etc so it wasn't aimed at just larger people...I'm sure that somewhere in that, she had some kind of what she thought was a well meaning intention of saying that no extreme is healthy, which of course it isn't but that was completely lost in her feeling that anyone should be 'demonised' or made to feel as though they have to have specific selective shops because their body size is not what she considers is healthy...

Storm in a teacup.
The panel were discussing how shops and companies are springing up making clothes for the larger woman/girl trendy. Does it normalise obesity etc..so she did have a valid opinion, however, that is all it is, her opinion.
There was a documentary on last night showing what big business it is now (pardon the pun). Very interesting, personally I think it is a great idea, the confidence these size 24 and above girls had showing their bodies was amazing.

[Niamh.]

Of course obesity is a big problem and especially obesity in children and teenagers but I don't see how giving these people nothing to wear is going to help? Most likely it will make them feel worse about themselves and make the problem worse. How about thinking about an actual solution like making health and exercise more of a priority in schools?

[Livia]

Here we go with another profoundly stupid woman being given a platform to air her opinions. I've seen her make an arse of herself on TV many times because she's frankly a bit dim... and yet she, along with people like Katie Hopkins, are now public orators on all matters affecting everyone. Get them ALL off my screen and out of my newspapers, please.

if we have this tremendous rise in obesity we hear about how comes today the news is all about the rise in food banks?

they both cant be right :think:

Because unhealthy / fattening food is cheap and easy. What do the food banks even offer? Tinned crap, white carbs, carbs and more carbs. If you live off that crap you will get fat, simple as that. Body converts all those empty carbs to fat and also the poor quality leaves people feeling lethargic, therefore less active, therefore getting less exercise.

[Toy Soldier]

As for her comments, a bit daft in that people of all sizes have to buy clothes SOMEWHERE, but I do completely get her point in theory. Being overweight / obese in the western world is becoming "normalised" to the point that people who are, to be blunt, quite fat are seen as a normal / healthy weight. If it was only about aesthetics that wouldn't be a problem: people are free to have whatever body type they want if they are happy with it.

But when people have a distorted view of "normal weight", they are likely to think that their weight is "perfectly healthy" when they are, in fact, overweight... and then they're surprised / horrified when they start developing wider health issues related to their weight. Or rather, how much fat they're carrying... "weight" is meaningless in terms of health, only body fat percentage really matters.

But yeah... putting it simply, being an *unhealthy* weight shouldn't be normalised, congratulated or applauded. People shouldn't be shamed either, of course, and at the end of the day it's their own business if they want to have painful health complications and die younger... but, being healthy should always at least be strongly encouraged. It's NOT really "fine to be fat".

[edit] Edited to add: I say this as someone who has gained 2st (and lost muscle mass, so realistically gained more than 2st of fat) in the last 8 months so I'm not preaching from any soapbox. I'm currently not being healthy at all (went from cycling 15 miles a day for work to catching the bus like a lazy arsehole) and need to sort it out.

No you will only get fat if you eat more than you burn off. Plenty people are thin and eat rubbish. What causes the obesity is take away food plain and simple

I absolutely agree with all that TS. It is a huge issue, I was watching the Irish Voice actually and I noticed that so many of the contestants (noticeably more so the girls for some reason) were over weight, it really is a worrying thing. I myself, gained a stone and a half in the last few years (which thankfully I'm halfway there to getting rid of now) but I was thinking to my myself, I'm sure I don't eat that much how have I actually put on all this weight? It wasn't until i actually started keeping note of how many calories are in everything I was eating did I realise that you don't actually even need to eat a horrendous amount to pile up your calories, if you're eating the wrong things. The one I was most shocked by actually was just how bad McDonalds was, 1100 calories in a medium meal :shocked: That's almost your whole days allowance for a woman and you're hungry again like an hour later

[Vanessa]

But you can be healthy even if you're a little overweight. The most important thing is do some excercise and eat healthy. I try to, most of the time. :laugh:

[Toy Soldier]

No you will only get fat if you eat more than you burn off. Plenty people are thin and eat rubbish. What causes the obesity is take away food plain and simple

Yes but if you eat nothing but crap like tinned macaroni and white bread you will become tired / lethargic, like I said, and therefore less likely to keep active and burn calories. Bad food is a double-edged sword, and whilst I agree that take-away food is very rarely any good, it's far from being the only bad choice. Supermarket ready-meals / tinned meals / convenience foods like supernoodles that some people try to live on, are far worse. Especially the ones packed with hydrogenated fats, MSG, or both.

The worst offender is coke / other carbonated drinks though. The full-fat ones are A) full of calories and B) cause a "sugar crash" within a couple of hours of drinking one. You're not going to be doing any exercise whilst crashing, and the most likely scenario is that you're going to seek out another sugary drink.

"Diet" (irony!) drinks are even worse because the combination of the artificial sweeteners plus the gas stretching the stomach promotes hunger.


Anyway... my main point is, these food banks are not providing the raw, fresh foods that promote an energetic or healthy lifestyle. It's processed crap and heavy carbs.

What is even in McDonalds "food"?? We were talking about this the last time we went... you can wolf down a large quarter pounder meal, then you step out the door and you feel like you haven't eaten anything all day! And it's only McDonalds... even other fast food doesn't seem to have that effect.

[kirklancaster]

I thought this thread was about some egotistical TV 'personality' stepping out of her inane safe role and spouting that stores should not stock clothes for obese/oversize women?

The 'why's' and 'wherefores' of how people GOT to be fat, and the 'If's' and 'but's of 'HEALTH ISSUES' associated with being fat have nothing to do with this tedious 'KH' wannabe's statements.

FAT people already EXIST so the question is; Do we really want to see MOUNTAINS of wobbling cellulite and dimpled flesh bouncing up and down when FAT people are forced to walk around NAKED because of this big mouthed TV 'Celebrity?

I say no! Save our pavements from the damage caused by nipple drag from massive bosoms. Save our children from having to witness such horrors.

Jamelia has apologised after suggesting high street stores should not stock clothes "above a certain size" - but said she stands by her remarks.
The Loose Women panellist said she was "hounded on Twitter" after airing her views on the ITV show in a discussion about overweight teenagers.
"Knowing that I offended really upset me," Jamelia told Good Morning Britain.
"Knowing that I made people question themselves and their choices, it really did upset me. All I can do is apologise for that."

Maybe so...but people still are that size, what are they supposed top wear, potato sacks :umm2:

I mean, the average clothes size of a woman now is like size 16..which technically unless you are really tall, would be classed as obese in most cases.

Anyway, she need not worry, in most high street shops you have problems to begin with buying anything above (or below) about a size 8

In a discussion about overweight teenagers, the 34-year-old mother-of-two said that obese women 'should feel uncomfortable' about their unhealthy size, and that high street stores should not be catering for them.
She said: 'I do not think it's right to facilitate people living an unhealthy lifestyle, in the same way I don't believe that a size zero should be available - it's not a healthy size for an average woman to be.'

Well, so much for advertising and media making young people obsess about their weight, now we have light entertainment presenters demonising the obese.

I can give up bread, but i love pasta. Can't live without it. :lovedup:

[Vicky.]

I don't eat bread (unless Im hungover and need a bacon sandwich) and I dont like pasta..I eat rice maybe once a month when we get a chinese. So potatoes are a staple in my diet :laugh:

[Toy Soldier]

get rid of potatoes?? Are you loco man? :omg:

I eat virtually no bread or pasta but leave me my spuds

You're Irish, that's different, it's a specialised diet for Irish people. Like, cows can survive eating just grass but most species couldn't. Likewise, all that is needed to sustain the Irish is the humble potato. The leading theory is that Irish people have evolved a special enzyme that actually converts potato starch into a superfood. It's fascinating stuff really. I actually saw a documentary recently in which they demonstrated Potatogenesis - a process by which elderly Irish people are buried up to their necks in a field for a few months and then when you return, they have sprouted more Irish people.

[Dollface]

What a stupid bitch, does she expect plus size people/size zero people to walk around naked?

[Vanessa]

Some people are way too obsessed with their weight. You only live once and you should enjoy it. It's important to be healthy, but i think we should eat everything in moderation.

[Daniel.]

I agree with Jemelia, xx

[Dollface]

I agree with Jemelia, xx

That should be their punishment for being so unhealthy

I agree Vanessa, I eat healthily and work out every day BUT I don't deprive myself of goodies if I want them.. I agree with this quote below:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used, totally worn out and screaming -- "WOO HOO, what a ride!"

My brother used to say : i don't want salad. I'm not a rabbit! :joker:

[Marsh.]

:umm2: But nobody's perfect, what's everyone else's punishments for the things they do wrong or that aren't quite up to scratch?

[Daniel.]

Because it's their own fault, they can eat less #eatlessmovemore

[Lostie!]

Because it's their own fault, they can eat less #eatlessmovemore

And until they lose weight, they're not allowed to buy clothes? I don't see how calling for stores to stop stocking plus size clothes is at all a constructive way of thinking. :shrug:

Also, I don't believe in fat shaming. Never have, never will.

They should be made to feel uncomfortable

Lovely. :idc:

[Crimson Dynamo]

show me a fatty and i will show you their fat parents

[GiRTh]

Daft cow. I wonder if she might get a little suspension for these insensitive remarks?

[arista]

show me a fatty and i will show you their fat parents


Yes UK has turned into USA
who have that problem
sadly

[Daniel.]

I was only joking, people take me far too seriously

[Marsh.]

Because it's their own fault, they can eat less #eatlessmovemore

And until that time they can't buy clothes.

You and Shamelia make no sense.

[Vicky.]

This is a fantastic life motto :D

No you need Chat and Games for that.

[Marsh.]

Taking a post seriously in serious debates, imagine that.

[armand.kay]

But not jamelia coming for half the loose bitches panel.

[Daniel.]

I do kind of agree with her though, not about not selling clothes, but something needs to be done about the amount of fatties in this country, who are too lazy to do anything about it.

the problem is fat parents who make fat kids

we need to get them at school and fine them and make them go to education classes like bad drivers
