Woo hoo! May 6, 2010, is International No Diet Day.
But as this screencap of a website, sent in by Jessica B., indicates, some people may not quite be getting the idea. Perhaps illustrating the article with an image of a slender body indicating a significant amount of weight loss wasn’t the best choice?
And the keyword-generated ad on the side is, rather unfortunately, for a weight loss product.
It illustrates nicely how difficult it is to provide alternative messages about bodies and not have it overwhelmed by messages reinforcing existing standards.
