Makes me think of that 4chan plan with the thigh gap: create two groups:1 for it and one offended that it exists and then sic them on each other.

You're only just noticing this? It's been an established fact for decades that you pose thin people with your product to move it. The cornerstone in the anti-fat acceptance argument is that fat is inherently unattractive and nothing can change that. I'm surprised you saw any fats in the ad.

Lately I've been noticing fats appearing in more and more adverts. There's a Cadbury chocolate advert which features lots of chubby people in an office, and a Mikado advert which has a full-blown whale. That's probably what made me start to look more closely at the fast-food adverts.

I've started to see it a lot in the states as well. Fast food ads tend to use slender people (because no one wants to think of the ugly consequences of eating too much fast food), but a lot of other ads feature chubsters. Not full-on American landwhales, but people who could definitely stand to lose 15 kilos.

I wonder what other obvious things op hasn't noticed.

I refer you to my answer above. Other advertisers are now including fat people.

I would say don't do it.
Don't encourage them to pay livestock to be in future commercials. Leave the modeling jobs for humans please!

Fucking double standard. So protein world features a woman who was most likely use use their products to achieve physical excellence and the SJWs go batshit crazy. However, McDonalds features calorie dense foods being enjoyed by normal people and they do not even say anything.
For a bunch of "people" who love to equate weight loss with genocide, they sure had no problem with a commercial that completely omits the obesity epidemic.

Well, Burger King have gone full body positive fatty dad bod x2 with their Texas long BBQ ad.
Puts me entirely off their product, which wasn't hard to do anyway.
