In New Zealand, a woman was stripped of her citizenship because she was “overweight”. According to the Mirror website, Mondelea Bezuidenhout was informed that her body mass index was “too high” and was instructed to lose 30kg so she could stay in the country.

Officials said being overweight could wreak havoc on New Zealand’s healthcare system. However, Mondelea took the advice of a doctor who said she was in good health and decided to become a plus-size model.
