I\'m just happy to see a corporate campaign (because we can\'t forget it\'s a campaign) highlighting its own bad practices. And in the meantime, I hope, started some conversations about beauty culture among those who aren\'t likely to have said conversations in a healthy way. I completely agree with you, A.

Like belledame said, it's a small step in the right direction -- and it'd be great if all other corporations followed suit. At the same time I'm weary of corporations selling anything (especially self-esteem) because their bottom line is the profits for the boardmembers. You go to their .ca website and the next tab highlights their products. I'm just sayin'. I don't think we should be relying upon corporations to change the culture. I’m mixed.
