“Our Lollipops feature SATIEREAL, a clinically proven safe active ingredient extracted from natural plants. It works to maximize satiety (which helps control food intake, cravings and weight). So with 1-2 pops per day, you’ll have your hunger under control and cravings in-check. Just have one whenever you start to feel hungry and it’ll help hold you over until your next meal!” The petition has now been updated with a goal of 25,000 signatures and at the time of writing this it has received more than 19,000. As a fat woman, I can’t tell you the number of people who’ve told me that I should stop eating, or eat less. Or the number of people who’ve treated me terribly because of my size. We need to stop telling women and girls that they are only worth how skinny they are. Messaging like this makes us more likely to start restrictive diets which too often lead to eating disorders. Diet culture is making us sick — and Flat Tummy Co. is profiting off it by selling us candy that’s not even FDA-approved." We’re so glad that Tess is taking a stand!
