Colon Cancer (Colorectal Cancer) Support and Education – The Colon Club.

The Colon Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of colorectal cancer in out-of-the-box ways.

Your Health And Body Image – How They’re Linked.

The contention by the Spanish government is that ads for cosmetic surgeries, botox injections, and related procedures only serves to accentuate a growing problem tied to the body image of young teens. An interview with a teenage girl, aired on NPR, summed up the reason for the rising rates of anorexia and bulimia in Spain, as she explained how the “perfect bodies” of actresses and models are worshiped by their culture. This is why they limited advertising for the industry to after 10 pm, in the hopes of reducing the exposure of children to the images and message portrayed by the industry.

Even though this is in Spain, this is relevant here in the good ole USA. I think that anything that can be done to curb the images we see that help influence the younger generation to think they aren’t good enough is a step in the right direction. So a post 10p restriction on ads of that sort sounds like a good place to start.
