Sometimes all it takes is one person — or one tweet — to make a difference.
Just look at Twitter user Alie Ward. She spotted Pourtions brand plates sold at Macy’s and tweeted a photo of the plates on Sunday captioned, “How can I get these plates from @Macys banned in all 50 states.”
Ward took offense with the plate’s design, which featured three concentric circles allegedly meant to help with portion control. The smallest circle showed how much to eat to fit into “skinny jeans” with the largest circle equaling “mom jeans.” More
The last thing the big fat tub o shit needs is another plate anyway
If I could think of something stupid to be offended about I’d start complaining to left wing companies and get them to pull their products. (We all should.) Oh wait. I’m not a selected minority with special privileges.
What is it with leftists having things banned instead of not purchasing and using those things……… never mind.

Soon to come- mirrors removed from dressing rooms.
First off this was clearly a f•••ing joke novelty type gift so of course the humorless libtard fatso took offense.
But on this topic I am sick and tired of these leftist tards yet again so offended at the truth. Another truthful scientific fact, when you consume too many calories and don’t expend them your butt gets big and you can’t fit in skinny jeans. And you end up screaming about fat shaming.
Plates was meant to be funny but as we all know Democrats have no sense of humor. She should know that skinny Obama wears mom jeans.
And she’s a comedienne?!
Those plates all need to be broken!!!
… over her HEAD… 🙄
Lazlo’s Old Man, known as ‘The Old Man’ used to say: “If you look for trouble, sure as shit you will find it”
I think the same applies to being offended
Obese, humorless and perpetually offended is no way to go through life.
Yeah, I struggle with weight control and sometimes people engage in body shaming by calling me obese. (Thanks for that observation, mom.) But if I’m not careful with portion control, sugar intake and exercise, I do pack on too many pounds and people notice.
But you know what’s worse than being “body shamed” by advertisements, friends and family? Being body shamed by your doctor. “You have Type 2 diabetes.” “Your blood pressure is out of control.” “Here, take this pill everyday so we can try to get your cholesterol levels down.”
I’ve heard all of that, and I try to control it primarily with lifestyle changes. So yes, if someone comes out with a plate with circles that say “belt, suspenders, belt and suspenders,” I’m there because portion control is important. And when I look into a mirror, I don’t see a victim of my weight control issues – I see the cause.
People complaining about this are probably mad about downsizing from a 30” galvanized garbage can lid…
Is there a ‘height’ limit to the circle??
Which one is the “My Girlfriend Is Not Hungry” circle? The rim of the plate?
Wyatt, quite so. And frankly portion control should be high on everyone’s list of shit to do today. Even I can’t open a bag of chips and sit down with it. I open the bag, but the RDA on a plate, and put the bag away. Of course I want to eat the entire pizza, of course I want to eat ALL of the oreos, of course I want to drink ALL the beer.
My father-in-law went, over the course of a decade, from the Sawbones telling him he was pre-diabetic, to, now you are insulin dependent.
Remember: not too long ago, Macys had a line of clothing featuring the initials of Stalinist Russia (CCCP).
Imagine the snowflake morons that must infest Macys corporate structure?
OFFS! The participation-trophy nation has gotten completely out of control.
No, your fat ass is not beautiful no matter how much you want it to be. I know my short, chubby, bald old frame is no longer attractive, (if it ever was) yet I don’t demand to be complimented. I also don’t take offense to having it pointed out that my former runner physique is sporting an extra 40 lbs that I need to drop.
If you’re fat, own it. Don’t like people calling you lard-ass? loose weight. If you’re homely, that’s outside of your control, but our weight is the one thing that almost all of us have full control over.
These A-holes who take offense to this sort of thing suck the joy out of life for everyone else. Of course, a joyless heart resents others having joy. I think we need too just point at them and laugh.
