This is just…

too much. These are the two latest commercials for Carls Jr. and I think they are disgusting. The first one is more than suggesting, and then we wonder why men see women as sex objects…well, keep producing such commercials and you got the answer.
And the second one says to women directly in their face that to have such a body they need to give up a lot of food.
How about mentioning how many millions of women out there struggle with eating disorders just because of such constant reminders what they need to do to look “perfect” according to the society’s standard of perfect or sexy?
Women spend so much time worrying about their weight and apperance in order to be attractive enough to be accepted into society that it’s just sad. Instead that time and, in many cases, money could be spend for much more useful causes like stopping the rape of women in Congo or decreasing the hunger in many countries around the world.

great posting! loved it. i share your opinion completely. people need not to think constantly about their appearance and the society-imposed standards of beauty…and if they wanna look well they better think not of their wealth, but of their HEALTH and HEALTHY eating… it’s really not that difficult and one can really avoid obsessing over dieting and exercises just by simply trying to eat reasonably.
and of course, there are so many other causes that deserve our time and effort..
