Obesity is Suicide
It seems that someone has used his creative genius to come up with ads that depict overeating as suicide. From his website he states:
It is no secret that the American culture is known for overindulgence. This public service campaign dramatizes the effects of poor eating in a way we can all understand.
There is a multi-million dollar industry in diet pills, weight loss programs, health foods and surgery. Unfortunately, the “point” gets lost when you actually read the small print on the poster. It is advertising for bariatric surgery for a surgeon that is not even associated with the institution listed or with the artist. In fact, the surgeon is quite angry:
It has been brought to my attention that there are posters circulating on the internet that are being associated with me. I would like it to be known that I am in no way associated with this marketing campaign and I have taken formal action to have my name and likeness removed from any such product, poster, internet site or publication.
Just for clarification, I have never been associated with this organization and am disgusted by their vulgar display of obesity. This is something I would never stand for and am appalled that anyone would even consider placing material of this nature out for public viewing.
While I think the posters are distasteful, it is shameful that a doctor’s name would be dragged through the mud.

I agree with your all opinions given by you in your post.If anyone take over dose then he/she suffer the side affect or die.Sp every one should control the diet pill due to the pick & valley of the conventional dose.Thanks for sharing this in your post with us.

Clearly, being overweight or obese is bad for your health… Personally, while I understand the underlying message, I don’t think of suicide and obesity in the same boat….
