Domino’s Shames Women for Eating Salad, and We’re So Not OK With It

Choosing a healthy dinner is hard enough—the last thing you need is someone making you feel sh*tty about that decision. That’s exactly what happens in Domino’s latest commercial announcing its new salad menu. The pizza chain’s ad implies that people who opt for mixed greens over a slice (or two) are the worst. See for yourself:

We get the ad is supposed to be over the top, but it shouldn’t make people feel ashamed about eating greens. And we couldn’t help but notice women were the only ones ordering salads in the ad, sending the not-so-subtle sexist message that it’s just females who want or need to eat healthy. Domino’s should be advocating that a balanced life includes pizza and salad—the company want to sell you both, after all.
