So, we never are sure if there is a direct relationship, but Kellogg's announced on January 4, 2011 a new ad campaign that uses a scale suspiciously close to the YAY! scale created by Marilyn Wann. While this was an action from last year, <a href="http://newyorkchica.com/2011/01/special-k-resolution-challenge-i-stepped-on-a-scale-in-times-square/" target="_blank">they are at it again in 2012</a>, so please read and respond if you choose. <br />
<br />
One of the ways you can spread the Revolutionary word is to pass along this press release issued today by Ms. Wann: "<a href="http://firstpersonpluralweb.com/LoseHate.pdf">Lose the Hate, Not the Weight!</a><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Feel free to pass along to media, to post links and to write about this on blogs. This is an opportunity to tell the diet industry that enough is enough!<br />
<br />

Those of us working on this website are somewhat suspicious of 3 Ball Productions (yeah, the folks who do <i>The Biggest Loser</i>) titling of this show. <br />
<a name='more'></a>If you look at show's logo you see a check mark for the "v" that is reminiscent of our motto: "ReVolutions not Resolutions!"<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yM2UniW2KKU/TwDjot9lgYI/AAAAAAAAApY/zMjoxwBV8eU/s1600/TheRevolutionTim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yM2UniW2KKU/TwDjot9lgYI/AAAAAAAAApY/zMjoxwBV8eU/s320/TheRevolutionTim.jpg" width="320" /></a>Perhaps we are too paranoid, but the premise of this show is that fat women are fat because they do not take care of themselves and that makes it not revolutionary at all. Intended to give them the kind of high quality support movie stars receive (life coaching, fashion coaching, hair and make-up, personal trainers, etc.), the show cannot escape the central message that women are empowered by how they look not who they are. In other words, this pretty package is the same old lies about the meaning of fat and weight loss in our culture.<br />
<br />
As one of the actions this month, we ask that you let others know how bad the premise of this show is and maybe even take a moment <a href="http://www.3ballproductions.com/contact.html" target="_blank">to contact 3 Ball Productions</a> and tell them what a bad idea this show really is.Pattiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13432437060665706938noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044818343367350349.post-31565454318041590282010-12-31T19:20:00.000-08:002011-12-28T19:06:22.648-08:00Action: Tell Your Story at PDA Nation<object width="480" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/LauY5RgubQE?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/LauY5RgubQE?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
