		<description>I, too, still see this ad on.  Hopefully it will be fully pulled soon.

As someone who has never struggled with an eating disorder, I never really thought of it in quite that light (as a trigger for those who do).  However, it has always bothered me...because, like so many other commercials target towards women, it relates dieting to being &quot;good&quot;.  If you&#039;re dieting, then you are &quot;good&quot;, you are worthy, you have value.  If you slip up in your diet,  or simply enjoy having a piece of dessert every now and again, then you have sinned,  you&#039;ve undone your whole day, you are &quot;bad&quot;.  It&#039;s part of a whole mindset that once again reinforces the notion that a woman&#039;s worth is gauged entirely by her weight and body shape/size.  So this commercial is not only treacherous to those with eating disorders, but to women in general...as it reiterates to everyone the idea that your value as a human being is inversely proportional to your weight.</description>

		<description>There are other commercials that do this, as well.  One particularly disturbing one is the commercial about coffee-flavoured bites (I forge the company).  I remember thinking that the woman looks absolutely tortured by the thought of food. Society teaches people how to behave - especially youth - these ads set the stage for eating disorders to develop.</description>

		<description>It may take a week or so to pull all the ads. I saw it last night and just shook my head. People don&#039;t see or hear the messages because they&#039;re so ingrained on women&#039;s minds through the media portrayal of who we should be that everyone thinks it&#039;s okay. Needless to say, it&#039;s not.</description>

		<description>PULLED?
As I was reading this, that very same commercial just happened to come on. (Weird, right?) Did the channel I&#039;m watching just miss the memo?</description>

		<description>That is the problem right there...they didn&#039;t even think about it!  How on earth could that NOT have crossed their minds!!!!  Very disturbing and it really makes me not want to ever purchase yoplait again. That is a complete lie when they say that never occurred to them and no one raised the point.  I am so sick and tired of turning on the tv and seeing ads like this.  VERY UPSETTING!!!!!!!!</description>
