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 (notably Lynn Novak) 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.

It is no coincidence that government agencies (and diet companies) are now targeting communities of color with "obesity prevention" campaigns. The photo/ad above is only one example, but what you see are agencies going into these communities and instead of trying to solve systemic racism or poverty, which has a far larger impact on health than body size, they are only pushing to eradicate fat people.
This is aside from the photoshopping of the original image to create a child that not only looks older, darker and cartoonish is incredibly dehumanizing, fat phobic, and racist.

fuck
this is un-fucking-acceptable
And if obesity was such a fucking "epidemic," WHY THE FUCK COULDN'T THEY FIND AN ACTUAL FAT KID TO USE FOR THEIR PROPAGANDA INSTEAD OF PHOTOSHOPPING EXTRA FAT ONTO A THINNER CHILD?
*bolded for emphasis
Are you for fuckin' real with this shit

they're saying "if you hadn't taken the pictures then they wouldn't have been leaked"
but all I hear is "your body is never your own. how dare you act like it's ever anything other than public property."

Artist Hong Yi Plays with her Food for 30 Days
For almost every day last month Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (who often goes by the nickname Red) created a fun illustration made with common (and occasionally not so common) food. Her parameters were simple: the image had to be comprised entirely of food and the only backdrop could be a white plate. With that in mind Yi set out to create landscapes, animals, homages to pop culture, and even a multi-frame telling of the three little pigs. The project, which still appears to be ongoing, has been documented heavily around the web, but if you haven't seen it all head over to her Facebook and read an interview on designboom. Photos will also be appearing on her Instagram at @redhongyi.
love signal boosting creative PoC
I have so much love and admiration for Hong Yi.
I follow this woman on Instagram, Ida Frosk. She does stuff like this, and it's really cool. I think she's Dutch? But yeah, it's really interesting to see.

If you think its okay to continue to hit on someone and send them sexually explicit messages, especially when they've asked you not to, just because they're a sex worker, I hate you. "Don't like it? TOO BAD, YOU'RE A WHORE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITH YOU AHAHAHA"
I will end you and all that you love.
