PETA Billboard: PETA Save the Whales Ad Insults the Obese

I take much offense at this billboard sign because I am an overweight person. I happened to have been born heavy (my mom's heaviest child), I struggled with weight my entire childhood (I did not overeat as a child, we did not have that kind of food hanging around the house, we only ate at meals), the weight came off when I was about to enter 7th grade and I was a good weight until I began working at a fast food store when I was 16 years old. I did begin to eat some food there that I did not know at the time was bad for me. I did start gaining weight then and did not know how to stop it. I just thought it was my fat gene taking over my body once again. Later I learned about what fast food can do to us and I did curtail this a great deal. Later I had a breakdown and was put on psychiatric meds. Those meds cause undue weight gain that no one tells us about until it is too late. That kind of weight is very difficult to remove, it is a very slow process. I am attempting at present to alter my diet because I am now diabetic (which was triggered by a psychiatric med) and losing weight is a very slow ordeal and without proper support, it is almost a lost cause. All the negativity toward overweight people (even in my own family) is very detrimental to us. It makes us want to eat even more to satisfy our emotional need for love and support. So I take very much offense at the ad Save the Whales and I highly insist that this be removed immediately. How insensitive these people are who have legitimate medical conditions.

an unusual ad.

Having been over weight and taking more attention now to my diet and health, I am not really shocked by the advert, however I can see the problem with the small percentage of people of whom nature has designated with a life time problem of being naturally over weight.

Looking at Americans on the streets of USA I see a hoard of overweight people of whom really do need to be shocked into doing something about it. They can and in fact enjoy doing so, its a slow process if done correctly and can be fun. Fast food is a killer and unfortunately these fast food joints attract the kids. One of the best solutions is stay away from them and kid the kids away also. Stop eating junk food you really do not need it.

Some of the people that feel insulted should be if they are eating too much junk food such adverts should boost their determination to get rid of the killer fat. They should not hide behind those that really have an uncontrollable weight problem eating only normal meals and good wholesome food.

However the advert should be removed if people think its offensive who really have a uncontrollable weight problem. Lets also ban fast food adverts as they are offensive too in their temptation to us and our kids.   

PETA is now in the realm of no longer being relevant.  First the Obama incidence killing A FLY! now this. PETA needs to get a life.

Why does PETA (PEOPLE FOR THE EMBARASSMENT OF THE TIDEWATER AREA) have to pick on the whale population?  Why not the Walruses?  Why is it that us larger people are always said to be as big as a whale?  Why not say as big as a Walrus?  Actually PETA should have posted an actual picture of a Whale since they are being brutally murdered in the Pacific and Indian oceans.  They should be focusing their efforts in stopping that trade of Whales that is being passed off as research by the Japanese.  Besides, we larger people have more affection to pass around than those skinny ones do.  Thank you.

Gee, it's sure a good thing that french fries, donuts, soda, and pasta aren't vegetarian! Oh, wait.It's ridiculous to imply that vegetarianism is a cure-all for obesity, and it's also silly to use a pejorative term for overweight people ("whale") in an ad meant to reach them. Massive PETA fail on both counts.

I love this!Cuz i'm a veggie head!And I love animals! Fuck all who hate it!Every1 is being so like... overly sensitive about this!I think it's GREATNESS!
