A role model? No, she's a porker!
We have a new entry in the Daily Mail "cunt of the year" awards, via Anton Vowl:
And so it continues, in a classic piece of Glenda Slaggery. The author responsible for this bile is Monica Grenfell, who belongs to that special band of bullshit merchants and snake-oil salesmen known as "nutritionists". Like most of them, it appears that she has no actual qualifications (she certainly doesn't mention any on her site) that would justify her genuinely calling herself a "nutritionist", and as nutritionist is not a protected term in this country, unlike dietician, she can call herself one without any potential for backlash, similarly to how "Dr" Gillian McKeith continues to call herself one.
Grenfell says approaching the end:
Which is probably true. It is however also completely irrelevant. Women's magazines don't, or very, very rarely trumpet women the size of Marshall as role models. Instead they present celebrities and models who one week are getting fat and the next week are too skinny, or at least according to the celeb mags, as the body image that should be aspired too. It's the exact same sort of poison that Grenfell preaches, without the slightest care for how this makes women who don't fit the mould feel. Indeed, if women stopped being concerned about how they're "overweight" as Marshall supposedly is, then Grenfell and her colleagues would be out of a job. They have an interest in continuing to treat those who don't fit their model as "lazy" and "poster models" for ill-health.
All of this though is to again judge and pre-judge by what someone looks like. Coming from someone not renowned for his stunning good-looks, this might be a little twee and self-serving, but it's always what's inside that counts. Compare what Grenfell thinks to what she quotes Marshall as saying:
Game, set and match to Marshall, and "love" to the cunt Grenfell.
A role model for ordinary women? No, Miss England finalist is fat, lazy and a poster girl for ill health
Chloe Marshall has caused a storm by becoming the first size 16 beauty queen to reach the finals of the Miss England contest.
Feted and fawned over for her courage in daring to break the mould, Chloe boasts she wants to be an "ambassador for curves".
Who on earth does she think she's kidding? What she's demonstrating isn't bravery but a shocking lack of self-control.
Instead of flaunting her figure, Chloe ought to own up to the truth. She is fat and she got that way by over-eating.

Grenfell says approaching the end:
Teenage girls aren't in danger of falling victim to an epidemic of anorexia - but of obesity.The much-vaunted size zero of catwalk models is actually a UK size four. How many girls do you know that size?
The number of women in this country who are seriously underweight is minute around one in 70.

She talks about the "skinny minnies" she'll be competing against. "All I wanted to do by entering this pageant was to send a message out to young girls that it is fine NOT to be a size zero."
Game, set and match to Marshall, and "love" to the cunt Grenfell.
