Make all advertisers state if their images have been doctored.

Closed 26 signatures

What the petition asks

Both France and Israel have made it law that advertisers must put on their packaging that their images have been doctored. This is to stop the presentation of false body image. Britain should follow in their example.
Recently, there have been instances where celebrities such as Kate Winlslet have made it public that images of them have been doctored. It should not be up to the models and celebrities to state this. There are countless doctored images that the public aren't aware about, that are constantly thrown in our faces. Advertisers should clearly state that their images have been doctored, as this can give some people the need to get the perfect body, which is obviously made up by some advertisers.
