Here is the ‘Scary tale’ TV spot which was diffused in the english cinemas. The goal was to give a little more information and to sensitize the population about the food problems and eating disorders that some kids may face them.

I’m not sure what a “feel good” eating disorder awareness/prevention psa would look like or how effective it would be. A bit of a change from the Dove Real Beauty Campaign. …check out post at:
