MC - The issue isn't fat-bashing, the issue is bullying, which is what her comments were. I'm a long time Marie Claire subscriber and among the 28,000 who've written a letter to the editor. There is no apology or excuse for the cruel remarks this woman made. Not everyone has control over their weight, including people like me who've gained unhealthy extra pounds from cancer treatment. I guess in her world people would choose to die rather than go into treatment that saves their lives but adds on pounds. Yes, obesity is an issue. So is bullying in the form of inflammatory statements made to spark controversy and draw more readers to a website.
