The Mayor of London has announced that for the next month, advertisements that “could pressure people to conform to an unrealistic or unhealthy body shape or create body confidence issues will be banned across the Transport for London (TfL) network.” The above advertisement by Protein World sparked the banned after it received massive backlash online.

 

 

Mayor Sadiq Khan said that “As the father of two teenage girls, I am extremely concerned about this kind of advertising which can demean people, particularly women, and make them ashamed of their bodies. It is high time it came to an end.”
