Analyze this scenario from the standpoint of law and of ethics
using the Ethical Decision Making: A Toolkit on
pages 11 – 31.
In the spring of 2015, an ad posted throughout the London subway
system created controversy. Designed to sell dietary supplements,
it showed a very young, very thin model in a bright yellow bikini

so-called “fat-shaming” ads--those that tend to make young women
feel self-conscious about their bodies—from public
transportation.
Use the Central Hudson test to evaluate the

Questions:
(a) What are the arguments in favor and against such a ban?
(b) If an American mayor imposed such a ban, what would the
legal challenge look like and what would be the likely result?
