Demi Lovato was slammed by fans on Saturday after she criticized The Bigg Chill, a frozen yogurt shop, in LA for their excessive diet-oriented supply.
After going to Instagram to visit the store for his ‘triggering’ options, the singer (28) was scrutinized on Twitter for the ‘stupid’ attack and for the sugar-free options that are actually essential to diabetic customers.
In her original post she writes: ‘It finds it very difficult to order froyo [The Bigg Chill] if you have to walk past tons of sugar-free cookies / other diet foods before you get to the counter, before adding the hashtag ‘Do Better’.
The store, located on Olympic Blvd, is owned by Diane Dinow and her daughter Cary Russell, who revealed in 2011 that they average 1,000 customers a week during the week and up to 1,300 on weekends.

Demi accuses the store of “damaging messages from brands or companies that perpetuate a society that not only enables disordered eating but also price.”
The institution responded in a direct message to the songwriter Sorry Not Sorry which she then posted online.
The company responded, saying: ‘We are not diet vultures. We have been supplying all our customers for the past 36 years. We’re sorry you found this offensive. ‘
Lovato replies: ‘Not only that. Your service was terrible. So awkward. The whole experience was unleashing and awful. ‘
Constructive criticism: Lovato advised the business: ‘You can carry things for other people, while also carrying a percentage of your customers who struggle EVERY day to step foot in your store.

‘You can find a way to provide an environment for all people with different needs. Including eating disorders – one of the deadliest mental illnesses that is the second [opioid] overdoses. Do not make excuses, just do better. ‘
The artist What Other People Say then advised the company on various ways in which it could improve the problem.
She writes: ‘I thought, maybe it would help if you made it clearer that the sugar-free options and vegan options are for it. Mark the snacks for celiac disease, diabetes or vegans.

The company responded to Lovato: ‘We are not diet birds. We have been providing for all our customers’ needs for the past 36 years. We’m sorry you found this offensive ‘
‘If it’s not very clear, the messages become confusing and in LA it’s really hard to distinguish the diet culture and health needs. I think clear messages will be more beneficial for everyone. You are not wrong when you cater to many different needs, but it is not about excluding one demographic to cater to others. ‘

The OK Not to Be OK artist was already open about her struggle with eating disorders, including treating bulimia when she was 18 years old.
Last month, she told CBS Sunday Morning that ongoing behaviors related to eating disorders played a role before her overdose in 2018.
“I had no control over my life at that time,” she said, adding that “every time I was in a hotel room, my phone was taken out of the room so I could not order room service.”
She elaborated on the topic of her Pretty Big Deal podcast with Ashley Graham in February, saying: ‘I’m tired of running into the ground with workouts and extreme diets.
‘I thought the last few years were a recovery from an eating disorder when it actually fell completely into it. And I just realized that my symptoms might not have been so obvious, but it was definitely an eating problem. ‘
