Rejected petition Outlaw the fake ideals and figures portrayed in media

More details

In the United Kingdom there is a great problem in a particular age group of males and females regarding low self esteem, fake ideals, eating disorders and many other unnecessary problems. And these are partly if not mostly because of the media in our country telling us all what is beautiful, what is right and what is wrong and how we should look. I would very much like the government to take action on this by forcing the media to reduce the amount of criticism on the appearance of celebrities (weight gain, blemishes, ill accepted change of style), dietary plans and ideal figures, hair, clothes, weight and other articles of that nature.

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Can you be a little more specific about how the Government should force the media to do this? Thanks
