80 per cent of African American women are already overweight or obese. This type of advertising only promotes and/or glorifies this dysfunction within the community. Sickening!

Obesity equals obscenity..

There are no words 😶

“Obesity sponsored by Jack in the Box or Mcdonalds.” Sometimes we have to accept that certain things are not healthy, end of story. Stop trying to normalize it, so that the food culture changes and becomes better.

That is not plus size it is morbidly obese.

That is one woman who needs to put down the fork and push away from the table...jus saying...that is very unhealthy, not attractive, unless you're into elephants! Don't push ANY of your agendas on me. I think for myself! WAPO 'Where Journalism Goes To Die.'

Political correctness should be declared as form of terrorism. plus-size is not a normal condition.

Unhealthy bodies should not be promoted. Period.

I don't think fashion is the way to go here. If it is, it should be twofolded. Yes, fashion is for everybody, but not for every body type. Just saying....

One can be fashionable at any size! Fat shaming doesn’t help anyone! Not sure all the judgment is placed well... you prefer anorexic horse footed models?

No message

Depopulation ... They couldn't care less about healthy citizens, just sell their expensive products !!!

That woman can dress and be whatever size they want and still be considered 'womanly'. Men on the other hand have 2 sizes: Fit or Fat.

Never wear white after Labor Day

Spandex is a privilege, not a right.

Alot of black guys find this attractive..the one on the right is the typical black woman you will find in the hood with 4 kids on welfare, smoking Newports, watching Maury.

ask KarenAttiah she is tweeting about messages in the last 24 hours 😂

To all the people saying plus size women are raising their insurance costs, tell me why their are so many skinny anorexic women and drug addicted women trying to stay thin, for fashion's sake, that also have diabetes, which can be genetic, who are unhealthy. 🤔

Gross

Thanks for the visual.

These (disgusting )women should not be celebrated. Many of them (like my fat granddaughter) have stretch marks and diabetes. They need to eat healthy (fruit!) and exercise!

Someday maybe there will be articles on overweight men and fashion for them. Or even, maybe someone in media can explain why if a man gains 20 -30 pounds it's okay, but if a woman does- god forbid they even design clothes for her.

That unhealthy life choices are acceptable even if they ruin healthcare cost for Americans and lead to the majoirty of long term health problems.

There’s ‘plus size’ and then there’s grotesque, eating degeneracy. Why is food addiction lauded yet other addictions stigmatised?

That fashion wants their money?

Why does the fashion industry feel the need to glorify such an unhealthy lifestyle?

'Buy our stuff' under the guise of being inclusive even though obesity is often a choice (not saying all cases, save your tweets) that's extremely unhealthy, irresponsible, and causing health care costs to be higher...

Normalizing morbid obesity.

Can u ppl. stop lying to these obese woman, please. What they need is improve their hygene's & take care of their health, period.

Morbidly obese is NOT plus-size. It is a recipe for serious health issues that will lead to an early death. Stop promoting unhealthy living.

Wapo is Fucked up for suggesting the woman on the left is plus size.
