| Venus by Annibale Carracci (16th century) |
Kelsey Wallace of Bitch quite rightly slams a Childhood Obesity Campaign based in Atlanta. It's a cruel one, folks, that encourages low self-esteem and bullying. How upsetting to see young people's body sizes and shapes being targeted in such a mean way. There is simply no love in it. And as Wallace points out, the generalization is staggering. There are lots of reasons for having a larger body, and when body size is due to a genuine health issue, kindness is key. And while we're at it, in another day and time, everyone wanted to be voluptuous and curvy. Just look at Venus.
The campaign breaks the most important rule:
Don't be cruel.
