RISING levels of obesity around the globe have created a tourism opportunity for a Bahamas entrepreneur, who has opened the world's first resort exclusively for overweight tourists.
The Resort, on the island of Eleuthera, boasts heavy duty sun loungers, reinforced beds and extra wide doorways, targeting travellers whose large size makes them feel intimidated or ashamed when visiting conventional hotels.
A formal 'freedom from judgement' policy is in place so there is no fat-shaming, and there are in-house body confidence coaches to encourage guests to participate in a range of activities.
The Resort is being showcased in a new British reality TV series called Club 18-30 Stone Holiday.
Owner James King said The Resort was "a place where you can come and have a good holiday without any judgement whatsoever," he said.
a tongue-in-cheek "eviction notice" served on the unborn child of a heavily pregnant US woman has had the desired effect, with the infant finally coming into the world after a judge signed the legal order.
Kaylee Bays, pregnant with her third child, was working in her job as an court assistant when she jokingly asked Judge Lynn Davis to serve the notice on her baby.
He agreed, producing an order giving the child three days to "vacate the premises".
Less than 12 hours later new baby Gretsel was born, with her mum saying "so far, she's a good listener...she didn't want to be in contempt of court".
