I know that the TDPRI is a labour of love for you, and I'm sure that you're under financial pressures, but isn't it a shame that this tiny corner of the internet is now much like the rest of the internet; reinforcing stereotypes, and possibly helping people feel insecure about their bodies in the name of profit.

I think it's okay, they have to pay the bills somehow. What really bugs me is how if you're female on Facebook you get tons of weight loss ads, but males don't.
