Some people have said the planners could encourage eating disorders.
Fox & Moon Planners UK – your products and branding are nothing but ED propaganda, absolutely horrendous!… https://t.co/uq0xNsPnvZ

“Fox & Moon are currently making a profit from bullying women into thinking that they need to be thin to succeed, be beautiful, and be desirable,” Lottie L’Amour told BuzzFeed News.

L’Amour, a 30-year-old, plus-size fashion blogger from London, said the wording on the planners were unacceptable.

It’s literally the worst thing being fat isn’t it. 🙃🙃🙃

She continued: “For people struggling with eating disorders, phrases like this can be really damaging. I don’t think [Fox & Moon] realises that words like this can trigger damaging eating habits that can lead to serious health problems and death in some cases.”
Bethany Rutter, a-27-year-old social editor at Navabi from London, told BuzzFeed News the planners are “reinforcing and reaffirming a way of living your life that links your self-worth to your weight and are completely regressive.”

“Personally, I hate them,” added Rutter. “I hate that it’s someone’s job to condense the weight loss industry and cultural fatphobia into twee sentences to stick on the cover of a notebook and monetise the hatred that women (yes, specifically women) feel for their bodies.”
However some people are defending Fox & Moon and it’s founder, a woman called Tory, stating that “people are too sensitive”.
So angry that people pick on small businesses, Tory had worked so hard and I will always support her! People are too sensitive #fox&moon

The company has since deleted one of the criticised planners off its website.
