Macy’s is under fire for “promoting fat shaming and food guilt” after a woman posted a photo of plates with sections dedicated to different jeans sizes. The smallest portion is labeled “skinny jeans,” the next is “favorite jeans” and the largest one is called “mom jeans.”
Alie Ward, a podcast host, tweeted the image yesterday, prompting responses from thousands of people, many of whom called out Macy’s for their design, which propagates the idea that people must eat less to be skinny.
“How can I get these plates from Macy’s banned in all 50 states?” Ward wrote.
People responded to her post, many claiming that Macy’s is insensitive about “eating disorders” and “body issues,” and that the retail giant needs to remove the plates immediately.

One person wrote that the illustration on the plate isn’t indicative of anything other than “body shaming.” Their tweet describes how the small portions wouldn’t be able to fit a healthy amount of food — or even “hold like two chicken nuggets.”
