That less than 20K campaign made them millions and turned them into a global brand, from a local start-up company of about 1-2 years old. That you can't remember it doesn't matter, the media do and they keep on giving it more and more publicity. The company representatives were on all the major channels being interviewed about it, for free. Sadiq Khan has just given them another enormous free boost by picking on it for no good reason. She is normal in that she has a perfectly healthy BMI and the ASA confirmed this. If she wasn't in the bikini you'd probably just think, decent looking girl. No surgical enhancements or photoshop required. This Global nutrition report [Link] I've just read about it also states exactly what I did earlier about not allowing obesity to become the new normal. Co-chairman Lawrence Haddad said: "We now live in a world where being malnourished is the new normal. I would say Dove were doing nothing more than extending their market appeal. It's clever but it's not done to champion bigger women, it's to make more money and widen market share. We might be defining success differently, but I did state a few times that I meant pound for pound. The return on investment. Fair enough.

I do accept the wider story though that some adverts don't necessarily require a skinny body image. I think the headline example with the nutrition product is one of those that a skinny lady in a bikini might be acceptable for. Which brings me back to aftershave, more often than not being sold be a bloke in a open shirt or no shirt at all. I guarantee they'll not ban any of these, which means that he's, in short, discriminating.

This can be true, there is a correlation, notably between ideology of unattainable body types, and eating disorders. The problem however is more in depth than that as its really about the promotion of a certain type of unattainable beauty that is also dangerous to try to obtain. What concerns me though is how this has become an ideology among campaigners, who fail to understand that in terms of mental health, its actually a fairly small factor compared to other issues, such as the role of stress in anxiety disorders (including eating disorders, depression etc). Its not necessarily a truth that 'idealisation' of body types creates eating disorders either, its a correlation, rather than a causal factor. It does seem that in many cases, its a factor, but the problem of anorexia nervousa, also has perceptual delusion in which even when obtaining the 'unattable beauty' the individual knows and see's themselves as fat. There is a disconnect in self worth and perception, as well as a reflection of social values. Stress is the big environmental factors in mental health - Stress, notably financial worries and working environments. Which tends to be ignored, because its politically inconvenient to point out that the rise in mental health problems in the UK. its also the easiest, at least practically, for government to do something about - as it can control issues like minimum wage, rent control, working hours etc. I would hazard that the problem of body image is more to do with how society 'views' people who don't conform to an image, rather than those images, and demonises them, rather than the actual images - and that these images serve as reminders of 'the individual's ugly form', rather than a cause. Symptoms rather than causes, because they're cheap and look like your doing something, rather than dealing with the causes of the problems in society. Its like patching up the broken limbs, rather than fixing the pavement that is causing the people to trip.
