Magazine criticised for 20 stone front cover model - is it promoting a positive, realistic body image? Or glamorising obesity?
The 'Cosmopolitan' magazine has been criticised for featuring a plus sized model on its front cover. The snap features 33 year old American Tess Holliday.

Or glamorising obesity? Stephen got the views of size acceptance campaigner Kathryn Szrodecki and writer Emma Woolf.
