A woman who ordered some clothes from Forever 21 said, "I went from a size 24 to 18, still a plus size girl, so I ordered jeans from forever 21, when I looked inside I see this Atkins bar..."

Atkins is a brand that's known for eating low carb and low sugar diet.

Forever 21 said that from time to time, they surprise customers with free test products from third parties. They said the bars were included in all orders across all sizes and categories.

As a plus size woman this would upset me. When I order something I just want the item I order and nothing more, especially something IMO that’s insulting after I just gave you my money.

They said they put one in every order. It’s hard to believe they put an Atkins Bar in a size 2 order. Whoever came up with this very judgmental idea should go find a new job.

Writer and CBS correspondent Alie Ward called out Macy’s in a Sunday tweet for selling plates printed with three concentric circles that outlined portion sizes, with “skinny jeans” in the smallest ring, and “mom jeans” in the widest one. Her tweeted photo with the caption “How can I get these plates from Macy’s banned in all 50 states” has drawn almost 6,000 retweets, and the thousands of comments include many complaints along the lines of this one: “Macy’s just casually promoting eating disorders and body shaming.”

Some days, it feels like the whole world is "trolling".

Crazy. I think the Macy’s plate is cute. Mom jeans just means high waisted jeans and favorite jeans mean comfortable.
The Adkins Bar was probably a Health Bar.

Atkins (sp.) has nothing in their line titled a "health" bar.
