This is somewhat unsettling. Even if someone does not like skinny models why must the state intervene and ban them? Its completely illogical, do other first countries that have extreme obesity problems ban models for being TOO FAT? No, they even encourage them as if dying from your blocked arteries due to extremely high cholesterol, heart attacks is somehow empowering. Have you seen Tess Holliday? She is a Plus Sized model and there is a video of her kneeling down for some reason and to stand back up to her feet she had to get support from 5 other women surrounding her.

They are fighting the trend started by designers and agencies. They seem to think, for some unknown reason, that clothes look better on skinny people. Models are getting thiner and thinner to get offers and teenagers are looking at them as examples. This is a false beauty promoted by the media, that leads to bulimia and anorexia.
Personally, I think they shouldn't interfere and let the people judge and choose themselves. If they think losing health to fit into s size clothes is worth it, let them. Banning something won't make it go away.

Is this really the problem? I would have guessed that obesity is far more important and affects far more many people than anorexia and bulimia. France over the years did not experience such problems but after a quick search I've seen that its a growing problem and should be addressed more often
