Another angry user @MissGirlGames, tweeted, What are you trying to Tell me Forever 21, I’m fat, lose weight?”

She further went on to inquire if “non-plus size” women were also receiving diet bars. Hey @forever21 do you include weightloss Atkin bars in all your shipments or just in the ones for ladies over 1X ??Surprisingly, other users clarified that the company sends out diet bars along with all its orders and not just to plus sizes.
