Are movies making us unhealthy? That’s the thinking behind these redesigned movie posters that have edited out “poor lifestyle choices” and replaced them with something more wholesome and healthy.

Dr. Wayne Osborne of Treated.com says “the inclusion of poor lifestyle choices in pop culture has been celebrated as a mark of rebellion or refusal to conform… in recent times, we’ve moved away from this and entered into a period of ‘new sensibility’.”

“With this in mind, we thought it might be interesting to take a look back at a collection of movie posters from the last sixty years, and how different they might look if they were used instead to promote healthier alternatives.”
