Grammys 2013: Fox Discusses Adele and Kelly Clarkson’s Weight

Now that the 2013 Grammy Awards are over and we’re done honoring the winners, Fox News is trying to divert attention towards something it believes to be just as important: how good role models are Adele and Kelly Clarkson for women all over the world?

Check out the video above to see what I’m talking about.

Shortly after the awards show, Fox had Keren Gilbert MS., RD, Decision Nutrition president invited to talk about – what else? – how Kelly and Adele were too overweight, too unhealthy, too bad role models.

Gilbert argues that, by seeing them and seeing how successful they are, other overweight women might find excuses for looking the way they do and, thus, refuse to lose weight and become healthier.

You must already know that Kelly has been very vocal on this issue in recent years, saying she refused to starve herself to be stick-thin and insisting she ate right and worked out whenever she had the chance.

Trying to bully her and Adele who, by the way, just gave birth to her first child, into losing weight seems a bit unfair to me – and I think this is what Gilbert is trying to do.

Check out the video and let me know what you think.

Really Keren, because the industry doesn't have enough women going in the opposite direction by starving themselves into stick-insect status. Who the hell are you anyway? Where were you before on the issue of these skinny "Role models" for young girls? Adele and Kelly couldn't give a * about your unwanted opinion, they are well aware of their own bodies and in future should they ever choose to make any lifestyle choices, it won't be because of a nobody giving their opinion on fox. It will be for themselves and their families.

Listen,you can blame the messenger all you want.There is an obesity problem and especially Chilhood obesity, and If you don't admit the problem it will never be solved.So hold your horses and thank Keren for pointing the problem.She did not Creat it.Look at the old Movies,the fat of yesterday are the skinny of today.

Keren was telling it as is.If we want to decrease obesity in the USA we have to face reality.Just because overweight is the norm now doesn't mean we have to accept it.Celebaties are role models and have a responsiblety.

Again, we woman who are trying to get the focus off the weight issue are roped back into it. No one ever does this to a man. It is our choice. Leave us alone.

Why can't each of us just be accepted as we are...not who YOU want us to be? If I'm okay with my weight, why should that bother anyone else? I say they're just as beautiful inside and out as the models on magazines.
