Closed petition Ban negative portrayals of healthy and normal body types in adverts
Too many adverts, particularly on social media, are taking normal and healthy bodies and then portraying them as unhealthy. It's creating increasingly unhealthy relationships people have with their bodies, and is decimating mental health amongst young people.
More details

We need urgent action on advertising standards including on social media, so that companies producing and hosting adverts are held accountable for the damage this is causing.
