If you’ve ever shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch, you know that they do not cater to the plus-sized adult. I don’t care how cool you think you are, ladies, if you wear over a size 10, Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries does not want your business or even want you in his stores. You fat girls are bad for business. Simply stated, Jeffries doesn’t want overweight women wearing his label.

A woman who was told she was too fat to tan says she's being discriminated against. Kelly McGrevey bought a tanning package deal at the Aloha Tanning salon in Ohio, but after she paid her $70, the owner turned her away, saying that tanning beds could only handle people up to 230 pounds. McGrevey says she was "shocked and embarrassed and humiliated" after being told she was too fat to tan. But how would she have felt if she'd broken the tanning bed and ended up injured?

If it wasn't bad enough that some employers think it's okay to coerce their employees into getting health screenings that reveal personal information about their weight and body fat percentage, now, at least one airline is making good on a disturbing promise that's been haunting air travel for a few years. They're making passengers pay a fare based on their body weight. (Oh, how I wish I was making a belated April Fools' Day joke!)

Samoa Air is now weighing passengers and their baggage, and rates start at $1 per kilo (about 2.2 pounds). For longer flights, rates run as high as $4.16 per kilo. The airline's website prompts fliers to "guesstimate" their weight when booking and prepay that amount. If you're off, though, no worries! They'll weigh you to double-check when you get to the airport. What. The. Hell!?

The White House will host its annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday April 1 this year. More than 35,000 people will join the First Family on the South Lawn for “games, stories, and, of course, the traditional egg roll.”

Also, because we apparently can’t just let kids have fun anymore, the day’s activities will include sports courts and cooking demonstrations in accordance with Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign. Nothing says “Happy Easter” like educating families on “smart ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise choices into their daily routines.”

You may wanna start thinking about a new place to pick up your prescriptions, toilet paper, and greeting cards, because CVS's new and enraging health care policies may be enough to inspire a boycott. Many reports over the past couple of days have said that the drugstore chain is instituting a new policy as of May 1, which will require workers to disclose their weight, body fat and glucose levels, and blood pressure or else pay an extra $50 a month for their health insurance.

But CVS defends the policy as nothing more than "a health screening and wellness review" and says they won't have access to the info obtained by the check-up. Instead, it'll supposedly go straight to its health insurance provider. What's more, the company says they'll foot the bill for necessary screenings. Hmm. Still, something about this doesn't sit right with employees, privacy groups, and people who feel like CVS is suddenly acting like the health police.

Like the majority of women in America, my weight has fluctuated since I was in high school. Since I’ve given birth twice in that time, it’s fluctuated wildly. Growing a human is hard work, man! In my case, it required bean and cheese burritos and fries. Hmmm … I don’t really wonder why I gained such a huge amount when pregnant with my eldest daughter.

My weight over the last decade and a half has ranged from 115 pounds as a vegetarian 16-year-old swimmer to number that started with two the day I gave birth to my first daughter, and everything in between. I’ve dealt with the stigma of being heavy and the contempt of others when I was thin and fit. It seems like you just can’t win as a woman sometimes.

So did you hear? The expanding muffin tops of today’s American women are directly related to the amount of cooking and cleaning we’re doing -- or rather, NOT doing.

That's right. This study claims we are fatter because we don't do as much housework.

The authors found that back in 1965, women spent an average of 25.7 hours a week cleaning, cooking, and doing laundry. Ugh! I want to take a nap just writing that! By 2010, women on average had cut that figure back to 13.3 hours per week. Now that’s what I call progress, people.

There's been some serious backlash to movie critic Rex Reed's fat-shaming of Melissa McCarthy in his review of Identity Thief. Unsurprising, being that the guy referred to the brilliant comic acctress as "cacophonous, tractor-sized," "a screeching, humongous creep, "a female hippo," and "a gimmick comedian who has devoted her short career to being obese and obnoxious with equal success." (Uh. Yeah.)

But one of the biggest names out there fighting back may surprise some people. Biggest Loser's toughest trainer Jillian Michaels has taken a stand against Reed, telling him to "shut up" and describing what he said as "evil ... prejudiced [and] wrong in every possible way." YES!
