Some Plus-Size Forever 21 Shoppers Received Diet Bars With Their Orders

Several Forever 21 customers have taken to social media to share their outrage over an unexpected bonus item that arrived with their recent online orders. The item in question? Diet bars from the weight loss brand Atkins. The retail giant reportedly distributed the bars as part of an ongoing promotion, but several plus-size shoppers pointed out the less-than-ideal optics of that particular marketing decision.One person called out the brand directly on Twitter: “Hey @forever21 do you include weight loss Atkin bars in all your shipments or just in the ones for ladies over 1X?”Many raised concerns about a major company like Forever 21 sending diet products to its customers, especially if those people are struggling with their body image or recovering from eating disorders.Hey @forever21 do you include weightloss Atkin bars in all your shipments or just in the ones for ladies over 1X ?? pic.twitter.com/ldajPJ81NM— Katya (@wisekatya) July 22, 2019 FOREVER21 SHOULDNT BE SENDING DIET BA
