Double standards? 11:01 - Aug 6 with 432 views

Can you imagine the uproar if the advertising standards agency banned adverts because the ladies appeared “unhealthily obese” or had “protruding flab” or that their haircut made them look “like a bit of a bloater”?

So why can they say these things about these ladies in this article who will no doubt be affected by this?

Of course being underweight is not a good thing either but why are we expected to celebrate “plus sized” models as an amazing positive and brave thing when health wise it’s just as dangerous?

It's a fair point.

I've seen a recent Next advert with a morbidly obese woman in a bikini.

We seem to have models that are too skinny and "plus size" where are the normal ones?

Everyone is equal but, some are more equal than others,
