"No more muffin tops or cankles: Minister calls for ban on 'fat talk' used to shame women over their bodies
Jo Swinson believes 'body shaming' language damages confidence
Has called for a ban on terms such as 'thunder thighs' from conversation
Comes amid campaigns by celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence

A minister has called for an end to so-called 'fat talk', including terms such as muffin tops, bingo wings and cankles.
Scottish MP Jo Swinson believes the 'body shaming' language damages people's confidence and wants women and children to ban the terms from everyday conversation.
The equalities minister said: 'It's depressingly commonplace to hear women - and even young girls and children - insulting their own bodies.
'Muffin tops, thunder thighs, cankles - fat talk and body shaming too easily become a habit and an expectation.'
Her comments - reported in the Sunday Times - come amid high profile campaigns by celebrities.
Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence last week called for the word fat to be 'illegal to use' on television, and American model Tyra Banks has launched a campaign with the Special K cereal brand to discourage women from using fat talk.
The 40-year-old supermodel and America's Top Model judge, who said she uses the term 'fiercely real' instead of 'plus size.
She told Huffington Post Style: 'I don't like the label "plus-size".
'I don't want to use the term "plus-size," because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it.'
Research complied by the government has revealed that, regardless of whether they start off fat or thin, women with poor body confidence are more likely to put on weight.
It also found that girls who lack body confidence are less likely to do well at school and work.
Future campaigns will now focus on encouraging women to become healthy, rather than solely on losing weight.
A government source said: 'Fatshaming, trying to motivate weight loss through self-disgust, is unlikely to produce sustained benefit.'
Swinson has also supported the use of plus-size mannequins on the high street.
At the time she said: 'The images we see in the world of fashion are all pretty much the same - it's as if there's only one way of being beautiful. Yet nine in ten people say they would like to see a broader range of body shapes shown in advertising and the media
'Many customers want to see more realistic images in magazines, TV and on the high street, and having mannequins that reflect and celebrate our diverse society is one way of helping to achieve this"

Ignorant, freedom hating beast... I hope she's verbally assaulted and destroyed in front of her colleagues by The Squad Father.

Great, lets just keep promoting a society of overweight and unhealthy people.
There is probably no other research with more conclusive evidence than there is concerning the relationship between being overweight with health problems. Its an undeniable fact!

You don't mind when foreigners with nothing to contribute overload a system they have no right to, but when native fatties who've actually contributed, and have a right to take advantage of their tax dollars do it you take issue. ;D

WYHI?
I possibly would after a Shizzo-esque session on the turps.

The funny part is that men aren't the enemy. This is women waging war on other women.
Women publish and edit the magazines that glorify the waif. They run the fashion industry that seeks to tell women "what's hot".
So really, women are the enemy in women's search for relief from body image issues.
Look at the women that men find attractive...in general, the svelte model is viewed with the same type of "laissez-faire" attitude men reserve for other oddities.
So if men aren't the problem, then why isn't a feminist movement purging these types of images and behaviors from media? Can't a largely leftist media, run primarily by women (and yes, women run it...look at who controls the marketing departments in every major company that buys up advertising), control its own output? Or could it be, that at their very hearts, capitalist women know that they can sell more products to women by exploiting a sense of shame (regarding body size/type) in the average woman? That in short, the more awful you make a woman feel about her body, the more likely she is to buy products to assuage her guilt, mask her body, and cloak her feelings of media-imposed (and probably self-imposed) shame? Female or male, capitalism knows no sexual boundary. It seeks to maximize marginal utility in all fashions it can. And that's why it'll never change. You can't just let people feel good about themselves...it's impossible to get happy people to buy your stuff.
It's not man's fault. Hell, come to get big and look at a Big Mike Cox thread. Clearly we accept all kinds here.
-
good point snx, they are playing the who looks better game to be more attractive to men and a find a generous sucker-game
and when theyre beat by younger and better ones, comes the frustration and the food finds its way into the abysses they call mouths much more often
-
No doubt she has no problem with women talking about mens beer bellies, receding hair lines, small penises etc.
