Quote from company
"But a Richard Staveley, head of global marketing for Protein World, told HuffPost UK Lifestyle that the adverts are here to stay.
"We absolutely have no intention of removing the adverts because of a minority making a lot of noise," he revealed.
"We now run Britain’s largest protein facility, selling our products in over 50 countries to more than 300,000 customers. Most of them are women. How could we possibly be sexist?
"It is a shame that in 2015 there are still a minority who aren't focusing on celebrating those who aspire to be healthier, fitter and stronger. Renee, our stunning model (inside and out by the way and falsely assumed as photoshopped!), falls well within
what the British government deem to be a healthy weight (based on the BMI system)."

Yet, in 2015, people are still saying that a higher BMI does not always equate to being unhealthy. Really? ::) ::) ??? ???

To be honest, I may have to purchase some of their supplements just because. ;D ;D ;D

What makes these people even dumber is they do not realize that a supplement company is going to advertise the best body in order to sell their product. How hard is that to understand? They want to sell their product, and they do this be enticing you to look better by taking their supplements. Why would they advertise a picture of an overweight person? Not really motivating someone to get in shape.
Apple advertises MACs because they want to sell THEIR computers. Apple doesn't advertise for Dell or HP. By the feminist mindset, Apple should start advertising Dell and HP, in order to avoid hurting peoples feelings who use PCs.
I mean, this is basic business logic. :-\ :-\

Ha ha! That is just awesome, take that ya dumb fat ass ugly twat...

Protein world is obviously a company who does their own advertising...If they get really big and are forced to use big ad companies, you will see their ads move in a total different direction. One that embraces the fatties and pushes breed mixing. The fat movement going on in the media has a hidden agenda. It's really part of the depopulation movement. Fatties(as a whole) get sick and die faster than skinnier humans.

Awesome ;D

Explain to me this "depopulation movement" I think I could get behind that.

About time someone in such a position made a stand against fat Whiney pieces of shit who hate anyone in shape just because they are too fucking lazy to do anything about their fat repulsive sack of shit bodies.

Its disheartening when people try to defend a high BMI Index and say that overweight people are not necessarily unhealthy. :-\ :-\
I mean, are there some people who are overweight but still healthy? Is this possible? Obviously, people who are morbidly obese are probably always unhealthy. But what someone who is just like 5% over the cutoff for a normal BMI?

A true hero of the people. Sadly, I cannot seem to find his fine products for purchase On Amazon.

You talk way too much about alpha this alpha that and a keen sense of admiration for other dudes. Really weird. Why not log off a few weeks and do something with yourself, maybe takes steps to become one of the guys you want to be so bad?

Fantastic ;D

fattie women have it easy, all they have to do is lose weight and be fit to be 10's.
Looking at those male models, they look beefy as shit compared to me. At least 30lbs more of lean muscle. It requires a trillion times more effort to gain that type of physique from a lean fit physique than it is to just diet for women, but I'm not suing or complaining, these are the facts of life.
-
Shit. I started a thread on this same news report. Fucking fatties shit me, get off your fat arse's and stop blaming everyone else for your obesity. What shits me the most is how they just think in shape people are naturally like that, they work their arses off, remain vigilant in their diet and lifestyle choices and resist countless temptations. Fuck YOU FATTY.

I'd say this guy is a true getbigger but that'd be doing him an injustice since lately getbiggers are the likes of shizzo and joon

This is what I don't understand. What does this have to do with feminism? I mean, supplement companies post pictures of MEN who are in great shape. They don't post pictures of overweight men. Where are the feminists when supplement companies advertise built men?
I always thought feminism was more related to equal opportunity in terms of right to vote, equal job pay, college opportunity, job prospects, etc.
What the hell does feminism have anything to do with Protein World advertising in-shape people to increase their sales? THAT IS WHAT COMPANIES DO!!!
Wow, now there is a petition started to remove their advertisements:
At time of writing, the obligatory Change.org petition to ‘remove beach body ready advertisements’ has reached 37,984 signatures.
-
haha lol ;D ;D
And in a comment that will surely pour vinegar into the protester’s wounds, Staveley claims the protest has actually helped his company’s brand profile and increased sales.
“I couldn’t have dreamt or hoped of having our advert reproduced more times across the news networks and social media as it has been done,” says Richard. “This protest has been absolutely phenomenal for us and entirely counter-productive for them.

From a Blog
Oh good, another advertisement meant to terrify women into believing that our bodies aren’t good enough to be seen in public without buying a bunch of products. Another message to teen girls that the only good body is a photoshopped body. Another company trying to steal our self-esteem, cheapen it, and sell it back to us at a profit.
Looking at Protein World’s online presense, at least the ad is in keeping with their tendency to show women as objects (their most common social media picture is a woman’s ass – no head necessary because who cares about what’s in a woman’s head amirite! .
People started to write over the ads and create responses in glorious fashion, as well as calling Protein World out on social media. And then PW responded in a way that makes me think that they want to be the official supplement company of Reddit and 4chan:
In response to the backlash, Protein World stated that critics of the advert had "insecurities".
Note the common technique here – start by suggesting that women should have to look a certain way to deserve to exist in the world, trying to create insecurity as a sales tactic. When called on it, try to act like it’s about “health.” (We’re not oppressing you ladies, we’re making you feel like shit so you buy our product in the hopes that you can manipulate your body so that we’ll approve of the way you look…ya know, for your health. CAN’T YOU SEE IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!!!!)
Like their supplements, I’m not buying this for a second.

If these women are so comfortable with their bodies then why get so upset over an ad? The girl in the ad is by no means skinny, she has a nice build with a decent amount of body fat.
-
When you live in a society of over abundance this type of thing starts to happen. These hephers have nothing better to complain worry about. Bunch of idiots they should focus their pathetic efforts on something more important.

Selling snake oil is just a side business for him, his core business consists of the real estate he owns in the mind of all those fat carpet munchers.
Props to him.

Fitness model in proteinworld as speaks out. She makes a good point. Feminists hate body shaming, yet they are body shaming the model for being fit.
'Feminists are body-shaming ME', claims model who was savaged after starring in 'Are You Beach Body Ready?' ad
Renee, who is a strict vegan, said: 'I am a real person behind the image. I work very hard and live a healthy and active lifestyle which is why Protein World chose me for their campaign. I couldn't work every day as a full time model by starving myself, dieting or not looking after my body. Nourish your body, be kind to it and it will love you right back, no matter your size.
'I agree that ALL bodies are 'beach body ready'. Skinny, curvy, muscular, petite, tall, short, young and old. Confidence is beautiful no matter what size you are.... Your reflection doesn't define your worth.'
I work hard to keep my body looking healthy and fit, which means eating 6+ times a day and working out with resistance and weights to make sure I maintain lean muscle… I don’t like looking too skinny!
'Confidence comes from how you feel. I feel my best and my most confident when I am fit and toned…. I love moving, being strong and always full of energy. I think there is definitely a noticeable difference between ‘skinny-toned’ and ‘skinny-soft’ – you know when a girl works for her body!' she added.

- Fatties get all agitated and "do something" on the interwebs.
- extra calories are burned in rage
- weight is dropped and somewhere, despite all her protestations, a fattie becomes "beach body ready"
- dickhead CEO FTW.
