Issue:
Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died in November at age 21. She was 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed just 88 pounds, for a BMI of 13.4!
Belief:
N.Y. is considering banning ultrathin fashion models.
Council member Gail Brewer wants fashion houses to ban any model with a body mass index of less than 18.5 -- the cutoff for the World Health Organization's definition of "normal."
Leave the fashion houses alone. It should be their decision who they want to represent their collections. This might cause some models to develope eating disorders, but that is their choice. I know because i've suffered annorexia before.
It's bad enough with airbrush mania, without them trying to make models look that deformed in the first place, I reckon
