Well I think high street stores should ban dogs from entering, sorry Jamelia we will leave you outside on a chain...

Comments like this disgust me, hopefully she gets the push. (June Sarpong is in the wings waiting to join)

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.

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?

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.

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!

She is such an idiot.

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.

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 That's almost your whole days allowance for a woman and you're hungry again like an hour later

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.

I know, it's weird, I love their chips but you could actually eat them non stop for an hour and still feel hungry With Chinese food I always feel really bloated and sluggish afterwards, Indian I find the best, you feel full afterwards but not bloated

another futile attempt at getting some attention

[Suze]

If she had a brain she would be dangerous.

[Kizzy]

'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?

Maybe she should leave twitter for a while

[Kizzy]

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?

Because she's too dim to know how ridiculous that sounds.

I am not so offended by people who are morbidly obese as I am by people who are morbidly stupid. And Jamelia is morbidly stupid.
