Is Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty promoting obesity?

I feel that Dove's campaign for ';Real'; beauty is promoting unhealthy lifestyles. NO ONE'S natural body type is fat. Some people are bigger then others, but is it not healthy to look like some of the women they show. What do you think?Is Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty promoting obesity?
Good question!


There is, however, two sides to every story. On one side, they are promoting that it doesn't matter what your size is, so you can be however you are, be it huge or small. On the other side, it is promoting a healthy body image - hopefully protecting young girls from anorexia.


In today's world, it is a very hard choice to make whether or not it is a good thing. But I suppose the question is, would you rather be fat and happy or skinny and miserable? Today, if you're bigger, you're fat. If you're skinny, you're anorexic. Apparently, there is no medium! But saying that, Marilyn Monroe was a size 16 and she wasn't fat - she was curvy.Is Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty promoting obesity?
No - promoting and accepting are two different things. There are in fact people who are naturally obese - there are diseases affecting people's metabolism that can make them huge. It can also be genetic of course. Many fat and obese people are that way because of healthy lifestyles, true, but not all of them. Similarly, I have a friend who eats like a horse (including a fair amount of fast food) and doesn't exercise regularly anymore; still, she looks anorexic. Why? Genetics. She has a super high metabolism. Anyways, I think Dove is just trying to say that you should accept how your body is, even if your a bigger person, not necessarily that being obese is a good thing
No, it's promoting a healthy body image in women and acceptance of different body sizes and shapes. Apart from a few, most of the women in the Dove ads are normal weight, maybe a bit chubby but not overweight and certainly not obese.

they aren't just promoting weight


they are promoted that you don't need to be model beautiful to be real beautiful.


and that you don't need to be anorexic to be beautiful.


its not promoting obesity its just telling you that your weight doesnt have to do with beauty
sorry,


but this is stupid.


considering the fact that no one would ever promote obesity.





ya, sorry.
It is just promoting loving the body you're in.


But I do see what you mean..
