Opposed to teaching children to live a healthy and active lifestyle, the people at Hasbro Toys decided it would be a good idea to create a plastic mockery of a widespread epidemic (as if the fat kid didn’t get picked on enough).
The games instructions literally involve feeding a pig cheeseburgers and watching his stomach grow. Feed the pig too many and his stomach will go “pop”, therefore making gluttony fun again.

Children are easily influenced at a young age and when they are subjected to themes such as the one Pig Goes Pop represents it can cause future discrimination and unfair judgment towards the obese.
With the constant bombardment of advertisements and media telling people to be one specific body size, alongside this comically gluttonous pig, the message portrayed is very clear that being thin is beautiful and being fat is a joke.
Pig Goes Pop is targeted towards children ages 5- 7 and may induce bias stereotypes and personal insecurities before they’ve even had a chance to form their own individual opinions and beliefs.
