What the petition asks
Images of people who are at a dangerously low weight can cause those trying to recover into relapse. They are also unhelpful to those who are affected by eating disorders.
I nearly lost my own life to anorexia and am now trying to help others in similar situations. Pictures of dangerously thin people can be extremely distressing and make recovery harder.
