My fellow curvy girls will know what a bloody nightmare clothes shopping can be. Yes we have ASOS Curve (oh how we love thee) but if you're above a size 18, Zara is a no go and don't even get us started on Topshop who only go up to a size 16.

So yeah not being able to shop in the biggest high street shops sucks and its not just fashion clothes. Finding workout clothes is a nightmare as well, because apparently people above a size 16 don't work out…

Nike said:

"Nike recognises that women are stronger, bolder and more outspoken than ever. In today's world, sport is no longer something that she does, it's who she is. The days where we have to add 'female' before 'athlete' are over. She is an athlete, period. And having helped fuel this cultural shift, we celebrate these athletes' diversity, from ethnicity to body shape."

Kudos to Nike for getting with the times. Plus size women rule. Get over it

Then eat less for a couple days and decrease your salt and sugar intake for a couple weeks and your magic genetics will melt away.

Unless we're counting competitive eating not one of those women has ever played a sport.

Losing weight doesn't make a person healthier. Different people have different genetics and suggesting that a person should try to change how their body is shaped is honestly a bit racist

Why wouldn't they do that? In America, you're missing out on 60% of the population by not catering to the fatties of the country.

Just makes good business sense.

Nike's clothes are already like two sizes oversized to sell to the average fatty.

Smart company business to sell your product to the masses.

It's about time. That's clearly the number 1 demographic in the South, if not the country.

These fatties are not "an athlete, period." They are "fat, period."

It does if they're obese.

And the people I'm referring to happen to store theirs in the pantry next to the oreos
