Macy’s removes plates from stores after complaints they promote eating disorders
Your thoughts?
I love how one woman photo-shopped the plates with a positive message instead.
Aubrey D. commented on Twitter:
"Macy’s just casually promoting eating disorders and body shaming."
"Another person wrote that the plates aren’t funny “when you spend your entire existence being told how to look so you can catch a man/have value, and shamed for the most natural things like gaining weight from things like pregnancy, or eating whatever you freaking like.”
"Ward said she has “friends who have been hospitalized for eating disorders, who cap off a good dinner by purging, know strong intelligent women who’ve starved themselves to be a certain size, and who obsess about calories so they’re not rejected or ridiculed."

How does a plate do anything except hold food? I don't understand... What kind of plates are they? Are they made of sugar or cake?

Click on the link and page down to see at the plates.
@LiterateHiker oh, I didnt see the link.. Lol and I looked too! Must be my nap time.... I'll look now...
The link is at the bottom of my post. Here you go:
@LiterateHiker OK, I see now... I probably wouldn't buy and use those plates in a household full of children but I'd use them... Maybe... I'm a tiny woman so I already eat small portions but I've no eating disorders..
Same here. I eat four small meals per day. Fruit or vegetable, lean protein and a whole grain.
Eating too much upsets my stomach.
@LiterateHiker after a long hike, I bet your appetite grows... I know im very hungry after my one hour run in the morning... 
Oddly, exercise reduces my appetite. Long, steep hikes burn up to 5,000 calories/day.
By August, I'm burned down to muscle. I hike year-round, using snowshoes and microspikes in winter. Have been adding ice cream to my coffee to keep my weight up.
In 2013, my boyfriend Dan convinced me to add cheese to my sandwich while hiking. Needed the calories.
