This whole thing is run by the Marion Family YMCA which "oddly" enough on their list of resources to help with childhood obesity is the YMCA's website. The particular program for kids struggling with weight is $50 for the first kid and $35 for each additional child. Sounds like a guilt and shame way to garner business for the Y.

Please take down these horrible billboards. Not what we want 5th graders worried about, nor what we want visitors to Marion to see as they enter town. Your money can be used in better, more positive ways to help the community than negative body images. What's next -- bald men? Tall or short people? Wrinkled skin & aging? Skin color? Religion? Gender?

Take the billboard down young ladies have enough issues to worry about with they're weight don't need a billboard putting them down no wonder anorexia and belemia is such a huge problem in our society

I am married to a beautiful woman with an awesome personality and happens to be in the bigger side. It seems a little predijuce were not all perfect. Some women and men like there body and if they dont then thats their opinion. Seems to point out the ones that may have issues with their bodies and we are just fueling the fire

Marion has bigger problems than obesity. Where's the billboards talking about the drug problem? We need those more than these disrespectful signs.

Remove the degrading signs... We as parents frown upon bullying and this is having a opposite effect

I've been a big girl all my life and have conditions that is hard to deal with people like you who judge over something like weight is ridiculous I've self Harmed because of bullies.and fat can be a good thing you don't have to be a size 2 to be healthy....the billboards should not be in we have a problem I'm excuse me the whole world does get over it a bigger problem in marion is heroin that's the problem save lives not try to make ppl feel like shit.

I feel like these bill boards are inappropriate and they make people hate their bodies!
