Ban those EVIL images of people with good bodies, who don't look like dump trucks and suffer from type 2 diabetes.

I really dislike the term "negative body images" to describe what they
describe. They are really "unrealistic body images" for the average
viewer.

I understand the thinking that this type of advertisement creates a
negative image of the viewer's body to the viewer because the viewer's
body doesn't fit that "ideal" image, but the image itself is not a
negative body image.

Good point.

The main photo that started this tweet fest looks just fine to me. And
so it is not negative, but difficult to attain. Unrealisitc that many
will attain it.

It's too late for me. Permanent damage.

At least they won't have to endure images of Rob Ford.
