Our Gallery of Offenders is for educational purposes, and to give our web site visitors the chance to contact media-makers directly to tell them what they think. The items are mostly chosen from the U.S. mainstream media available in the last year, using an independent process. We are never making fun of models/actors themselves, but the environment they exist within. Please submit your picks on our Contact page.

Socio-cultural messages regarding weight and thinness have been found to be of extreme significance in adolescent girls’ lives. One study found that media and fashion were reportedly the most influential factors in exerting pressure to be thin (Wertheim, Paxton, Schutz & Muir, 1997).
