I’ve been following the blog for awhile, and I just want to say thank you. You’ve opened my eyes to how awful people can be toward each other, and I’m glad I can do my part – even if it’s just in my family – to get rid of the negative stigma around weight.

That being said, I was disgusted when a PETA billboard showed up on my dash today (sourced at memewhore.tumblr.com ). It’s a terrible example of fat shaming. What made me proud of who I follow was seeing that I was not the only one disgusted by the advertisement. They question, as do I, how PETA still exists with ads like this.

I’ve included the information for where I have the screenshots posted in case they are needed. I don’t think the source information is correct – but I’ve done what I can to find it all.

This is the screenshot from my dash. (posted on my flikr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/laceymarieee/8874203969/ )

Mod add: Here’s an old Shapely Prose article about this ad, circa 2009. Yup, it’s been around that long. -ATL
