Okay, I can understand you don't bully people

But what about people who are looking for workout and weightloss stuff...?

I don't think that should be banned on Pinterest

I mean, I noticed I haven't been seeing any NOOM ads on Pinterest lately...

Seriously, what the heck was so bad about NOOM? 👀

Bc weight loss language and imagery can affect those who have eating disorders and Pinterest would rather not do that

@deadgerbil hhhmmm : /

@deadgerbil but I mean, weight loss language could just be workouts 👀

And noom was meant to be all about having a healthy relationship with food

@Fishy

Ads promoting healthy lifestyles and habits or fitness services and products will still be allowed, as long as they don’t focus on weight loss. This policy change was developed with the guidance and advice of NEDA.

@deadgerbil didn't know about the noom glp thing lol

And it's cool Pinterest are keeping workouts,

And I can understand the worry about people with eating disorders,

But then what about people who really do need to lose weight for health reasons?

@Fishy if they really need to lose weight, surely they can go to another site other than Pinterest to find a solution

@deadgerbil true,
But I guess what I'm getting at is that there are bound to be other sites that follow in Pinterest footsteps, and if every site starts doing it then where would they go? 🤔
