In the midst of all our issues across our planet,

it’s nice to see ads on TV and cable that not only reflect racial diversity, but also diversity re body size. 😀😀

1. Is it true that USA is the most Obese country on average

among industrialized countries?

[malaise]

3. We're very bad here in Jamaica

Will look for the figures- heard some shocking numbers during a presentation a while back.
Obesity is a serious matter, but we’ve never had populations who looked like the fashion industry models. It’s good to see that change.

2. About time. It is nice to see reality for a change.

4. It's wonderful. I noticed the big improvement in diversity on TV

very quickly after George Floyd died. Many broadcasting and production companies seem to have a reckoning with themselves and decided to do the right thing. Even voices on radio seem to reflect more diversity.

The diversity in body size is awesome too.

5. So true

Institutional racism took a hit after the murder of George Floyd.

6. I'm currently in England for work and print and tv adverts are much more inclusive

Compared to the US. I haven’t been to England for about 5 years but I have noticed in interesting observation. Among the younger generations with all the smoking, heavy drinking, and consuming of fried greasy foods, they are much more plump the younger people in California. I jog 8-10 miles daily and I don’t believe I saw any young (under 30)joggers here which I found odd. Thankfully many young Americans that I know are prioritizing their physical and mental well-being.

7. Corporations selling us consumer goods figured out it's profitable to make advertising diverse

Cynical, I admit, but the only thing that affects corporate behavior is their bottom line.

8. I did think about that

They have seen the plus size industry thriving and want in. They should never have been excluded.
