ReplyDeleteHello, I'm a Bostonian blogger who is currently writing about my recovery from an eating disorder. The pretzel crisps ad was at my bus stop on Monday, and I too decided to take action. Unfortunately, they replaced the ad with: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". To see what I did with that - please see my blog: http://katieandeddy.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for being equally as enraged.
Best, Kate
