I remember when I was a kid there was probably one fat kid in the whole school. Now there is at least one in every class.

I'm always baffled by the amount of power it appears to have. Media types treat the opinions of posters on Mumsnet like gospel.
Twitter is the same. Why the hell does it matter what a very loud but, in the grand scheme of things, small group bang on about?
I don't get it.
The police could have rung your dad and put you somewhere safe surely? That’s shocking.It was my second ever gig, i was 14 and got separated from my friends in the crowd & when i got to the coach park after the gig the coach had left everyone behind !!! There were no mobiles then so i had to walk into Stevenage and i went to the police station in tears to ask for help & they pointed at the phonebox outside and said that was all they could do. I reversed the charges and rang my dad who left straight away to come and get me (from Coventry) and some people stayed with me until they had to get their train. As my dad pulled up around 5.30am i cried such happy tears
It was the best & worst day ever
Tell that to Kanga (although it would have to be through a medium).
That’s all very well but what about if two become one?"Every boy, every man"
Sorry but I’m an older woman with adult children. The Honey Ross scenario is like watching a car crash in slow motion. She seems very vulnerable and is being exploited. I can imagine her parents are sick with worry and I really feel for them.
Same with all the young celeb daughters posing in underwear. In my day, it would have been seen as pimping your child out into soft porn. These girls do not have happy endings when they have lost their dignity in the name of ‘empowerment’. What utter bullshit.
The young seem so sexually in continent these days, having to announce their sexual preferences the whole bleeping time. No one cares and, it’s nothing new!

Well thats what was alleged yes I've not invented it off the top of my head really though have I?
I feel that Honeys photos are always quite aggressive in manner. I get that everyone is entitled to post photos of themselves and not get trolled but her attitude appears to be “come and have a go if you think youre hard enough”. Almost inviting negative comments so she can be all indignant. Put photos up or dont but own it.
I don’t know who this guy is but some may know of him.

I agree being very overweight is not healthy, but at least these days overweight people are allowed to be visible. Not leaving the house would have been an awful existence. They did exist, but they were hidden. My mum ( a mother of 6 and a size 18 or maybe 20) struggled to buy clothes in high street shops, and spent her entire life trying to diet, to fit into a 'normal' category. Often she stayed home, rather than be seen in public.
Greg Davies...any tea on him? I love the great chunk of a man that he is 
Sometimes I look at my dog who wolfs down any food he's given and wonder if all animals are just meant to not have too much temptation where food is involved. When I was growing up there was so little junk food available compared to these days. Shops shut at 5pm. Now it's 5 donuts for 99p and so on. Why do we have a situation where business create very tempting processed food products and offers to make them money only for the NHS to have to pay for the outcome?
I'm all for personal responsibility and will power but I do think it's gone to far.

Personally I couldn’t give a tit what size she is; however I very much doubt she’s genuinely campaigning for body positivity. More likely that she’s thinking: oh tit I’m going to have to go out and earn a living as an adult now but don’t want to slum it in a ‘civilian’ role, ill use the family’s connections to see how far I can get
Re: Honey. This is the quote that jumped out at me:
“They tried to give me solutions to a problem I brought to them, which was to lose weight. They presented me with diets and diets, as we know, don’t work and are absolutely toxic.”
Dieting doesn’t work for some people, however for the majority a properly applied diet does work and there is nothing ‘absolutely toxic’ about dieting at all, except if on an extreme level, which applies to anything on an extreme level really. A lot of these body positivity advocates also slam slim people, Lizzo (before she started her own dieting regime) was also in the news saying how the body positivity movement had been hijacked by “thin, white girls” which I thought was off, I thought the whole point was to be confident in your own body, not exclude those who happen to be lighter skinned and thinner than you are. Writing off diets as extremely toxic is, in my opinion, a lazy and convenient way of not wanting to try and using it as an excuse.

Plus size here. Spent my life dieting since I was 7yrs old and I’m now close to 50 years and still struggling with my weight so trust me i see both sides of the argument. I do think both Jonathan Ross and Kinghtrider’s daughter (I’ve forgotten his name) are trying to prove something.... remember how old Sophie Dahl was the cover girl for plus size and now look at her.
See a size 18/20 isn’t really that big anymore, that’s the problem. It’s really, really bad for your health to be so overweight.I agree being very overweight is not healthy, but at least these days overweight people are allowed to be visible. Not leaving the house would have been an awful existence. They did exist, but they were hidden.

My son is very slim build, as was I when I was his age ( that changed when I hit 25!) Its impossible to find trousers to fit him, because the waists are so enormous. Yet some of the reviews are like ' If your child is a bit chubby, these are to small. The waists are enormous!
A few pages ago, two different users acted like they were the girl in the story. @whitershadeofpale who said "that was me", and a few posts below, someone with a different username responded to someone who claimed the mum in the story was a legend. I was surprised no one else picked that up...
I always thought it was a ‘showmance’ to piss Emma Bunton off as they both had singles out the same day and the media had made it out to be a huge chart battle (Geri made it to no 1 and Emma 2). I just thought Chris Evans in general reeked of showmance and desperation as the Billie Piper thing (which creeped me out) was shortly after Geri. Did he have casting couch powers back in the day or did people genuinely find him attractive?
Nope they full on refused to help even after telling them i was only 14 and miles away from home.
Looking back i was extremely lucky nothing happened in those few hours i was alone.
Honey Ross comes across as an unemployed attention seeker. She trying to make a career out of being a professional obese mouthpiece, then having the nerve to call herself a model and an activist. This is what is embarassing: at least if she was traditionally attractive you could understand why she might try to go down that path, because there would be a high chance of success and actual work coming from it. With Honey, there's little chance of legitimate work coming from it, so it seems even more tragic, lazy and attention-seeking. It's like she feels entitled to have some kind of celebrity presence, but doesn't have the requisite showbiz-related talents or traditional good looks, so she's just poncing about on social media trying to get clickbait articles in the Scum.
There was a quote in there about finding her identity by expressing herself on instagram. Having Instagram as your identity is not psychologically healthy.
Neither is promoting obesity. Being obese is selfish, abnormal, and drains the NHS. And yes it is ugly. Many obese people don't even look human shaped any more. (I will say she looked ok in her nude though, maybe she's lost some and wanted compliments). It's not body diversity, it's toxic anti-science propaganda.
There's an argument to be made that people shouldn't be judged for their looks, but the way to fight that is just to have a successful, fulfilled life, with your appearance not being relevant. Not trying to force people to objectify obese girls as much as they do attractive girls.
Like many celeb offspring, Honey should try to forge a meaningful non-showbiz career.

I think he was really famous at the time and the up and coming Billie Piper thought it was a good career move. To be fair to him, I think he was very good to her and they had a brilliant time together.
In other Chris Evan's news, how come the hot Chris Evans is suddenly doing so much showing off his pecs/dog etc after posting on Instagram? He used to be very private. Surely he doesnt need to bleep himself out for work?
