WWD reported back in January that plus-size fashion is a “growth industry,” and we observed that most of that growth appears to be happening at the lower-tier level.

Several months later, it appears that the situation hasn’t improved much. This is especially unfortunate for larger women who are concerned about how their clothes were produced.

Target and Forever 21 are the latest brands to announce that they will be launching plus-sized lines for young women. Which, to one wacko CNN tracked down for an interview, is infuriating. And not because of either company’s production standards.

It’s because — brace yourselves — giving teenage girls of size more clothing options encourages them to get fatter.

“Yeah, as capitalists they have the right to address a growing marketplace and it’s a smart business decision,” said MeMe Roth, president of the organization National Action Against Obesity.

“However, when you look at the human cost, what we’re doing is we’re on the Titanic and rather than forcing our children into the lifeboat, we’re telling them to join the band. Worrying about fashion rather than worrying about the food is a horrible message that we’re sending these kids,” Roth said.

You may think that this is just some woman who is out of her mind. Judging from that Titanic analogy, you may be right. But a mere four months ago, Meme Roth was profiled in Elle.
