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.

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.

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.

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. |

A little overweight, sure, there's a fairly broad range of "healthy weights", but someone who is just a little overweight isn't going to be in "plus-size" clothes...

I suppose it depends on how active they are. Some people put on weight very easily.

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. CLOTHE THE FATTIES and FECK JAMELIA!

'Make overweight people feel uncomfortable' ... So, bully them then Jamelia? Wow, she has had some strange views this one ( the date rape one :/ ) but this is a corker.
If she had some remotely ethical reason why she's concerned, if she was highlighting the socioeconomic factors connected with the rise in obesity, but she isn't. What makes it worse is that the guests for the day had been teenagers, how must they be now feeling?

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." Engage your brain? http://www.itv.com/news/2015-04-22/j...hing-comments/
