redefiningbodyimage: Marilyn Wann discovered this ad in her...
Marilyn Wann discovered this ad in her hometown and shared it on her Facebook page after posting a letter next to it, complete with an open list for signatures, that states:
"This ad promotes negative stereotypes and prejudice about weight, race [and] class. Children deserve respect [and] joy. That's what we think."
(The physical list has since been taken down/removed by an unknown source.)
Some of her followers also discovered that the ad included a heavily photoshopped photo that included darkening the little girl's skin and fattening her appearance, replacing the milk in her hand with a packet of juice.
You can also see the original image on their homepage:

Now, I work in the advertising world. I sit in a gaggle of creative people who are directed to do things like this by clients, or who may genuinely feel there is nothing wrong with the harmful perpetuation of stereotypes this sort of work represents.
But I know better.
Labeling foods as "healthy" and "unhealthy" is inaccurate, especially when these messages of ill-health are being directed correlated with images of fat bodies, feeding into the kind of hysteria and fear of obesity that breeds hate and body shaming.
The bottom line is that different foods, drinks, and sugars effect different bodies in different ways.
If corporations and government organizations want to have a discussion about health and sugary drinks, that's one thing - but there is no doubt that these messages can be expressed without pulling fat bodies into the equation, or feeding into harmful stereotypes about fatness and health.
There is so much more to be said about this ad regarding implications about diabetes, class, and race - But I will save that for those who may be better equipped to add to the conversation.

On Est Corps Vivant: It Is The Living Body
[There is no subtitles with this video] There are many films about the artistic creation, on the relationship between artists and models, the model as muse that the artist wants, but there is nothing about the models themselves. Who are they? Why are they asking? Topics fantasies subjects of studies, models have left traces through the history of art: images remained, tables have become icons, however, they were forgotten.
Solene live model, she posed nude for drawing classes in different schools. She submits her naked body with eager eyes full of dreams of young designers as well as those more experienced artists. It is his voice that guides us in the discovery of this activity and allows us to understand how the model without touching a pencil, involved in artistic creation.
This film aesthetic bias, both through the topic in its image processing, provides a particular view of creation. Through video art, animation and live-action processes, he invites us to share the intimacy workshops with live models.
