Plus-Size Discrimination in the Media - A Big Deal

Even if we as a society are ready to move beyond the sociologically imposed standards of women in the media, the media itself doesn't think so

. This rejection of what should be a perfectly acceptable ad should be a cause for concern and a call to arms. As a collective public we can not stand by as women who have more than 15 percent body fat are openly discriminated against and deemed inappropriate for television viewing audiences. Not only do these big beautiful women deserve to be seen, they need to be. We as a culture can't afford to be complacent as advertising execs tell us who we can and cannot watch on television. We must demand to be able to see people of every size, shape, gender and creed if we as a culture want to begin to produce a more accurate, realistic and healthy mediated culture.
