Ep. 113: Was it Wrong for Pinterest to Ban Weight Loss Ads?

In this episode, I share my thoughts on Pinterest recently announcing their ban on weight-loss ads. Here are some things I cover: 

 

• The details of the ban, and why they’ve decided to do it
• My initial thoughts, and why I think it’s a huge win for the Body Positive Community 
• My opinion on censorship on social media 
• Why weight loss ads are harmful in the first place 
• Alternative ways to promote and seek out sustainable, positive habit change
