Macy’s is removing plates from their housewares department that contain fat-shaming messages. The plates are light blue and white and contain circles with portion sizes that read ”skinny jeans”, ”favorite jeans” and ”mom jeans”. The ‘mom jeans’ represent the largest portion size circle on the plate.
