The fast-fashion retailer has started sending sample Atkins lemon bars, which proudly advertise three grams of carbs, along with online orders.

So, to be utterly clear, while they are labeled as a “snack,” they are diet bars.

To receive an unsolicited diet bar isn’t just an insult; it’s a potentially dangerous invitation to question and critique oneself. That is especially true while buying clothes, and especially while buying clothes from the plus-size line of a mainstream retailer like Forever 21.

A Forever 21 spokesperson sent Jezebel the following statement:

From time to time, Forever 21 surprises our customers with free test products from third parties in their e-commerce orders. The freebie items in question were included in all online orders, across all sizes and categories, for a limited time and have since been removed. This was an oversight on our part and we sincerely apologize for any offense this may have caused to our customers, as this was not our intention in any way.

I don't think it's that deep? I never order clothes online but I mean if I did and I opened my package to find a snack or whatever along with my clothes I'd be pleasantly surprised.

I guess I could see why someone sensitive about their weight might perceive this a certain way...but it's free food. Free food is almost never a bad thing.
