A billboard for Protein World asking whether you are "beach body ready" in Times Square in New York on Monday, June 1, 2015. The advertising featuring model Renee Somerfield elicited controversy when they appeared in the UK where they were accused of fat-shaming and perpetuating an unrealistic body type. The ads are also scheduled to appear in New York subways. (© Richard B. Levine)
