Last week, high street giant Marks and Spencer a Plus-Sized Back to School Range.
As childhood obesity is sadly ever on the increase in the UK, M&S have been slated for 'cashing in' on a problem which many critics are perhaps scared to talk about.
The range for starting at tots as young as 3 include blazers and trousers for 4yr olds with up to a 32" waist (that of an average sized 8 yr old) and some uniforms even stretching to an adult size 18.
'Marksy's' responded to the comments claiming that they were simply responding to a high level on consumer demand.
Worrying enough as this epidemic is, are these children expected to go to school in uniforms that are too small for them?? Madness.
