April 2007 Should ultra-skinny models be banned? The fashion industry claims it is being unfairly pillaged for the 'size 0' phenomenon. But self regulation has done little to weed out emaciated models. "They have to understand that being thin is our job", states one size 0 model. But following the death of anorexic model, Ana Carolina Reston, designers are coming under pressure not to use skinny models. Spain banned ultra-thin models from Madrid Fashion Week after complaints they encouraged anorexia. "We didn't want teenagers to think excessive slimness is a model of beauty", explains organizer Cuca Solana. But other fashion capitals refuse to follow Spain's lead. "The whole size 0 thing has come from Hollywood not the catwalks", complains Hilary Riva, Chief Executive of London Fashion Week. "It's too simplistic to blame fashion."

The solution is very simple Models should be size 4-6 innstead of 0-2 A size 4 is ok and not anorexic If you want to see the difference watch fashion shows from 1994 and from 2009 and you will understand Nadja Auermann who is model body ideal was a size 4
What the Hell kind of people are giving thumbs up to comments that glorify this unhealthy look and thumbs down to people who say they actually *gasp* prefer healthier looking women? If your BMI is this low, you need to see a doctor immediately. You can say you're naturally anorexic-looking all you want, but if you are this thin you are malnourished. It is possible you are eating a healthy amount, but you are not absorbing the nutrients or you wouldn't look like this.
Anyone who says you can be an adult and a healthy size zero is delusional. If you are an adult and obese it MIGHT be a glandular problem, but it is STILL an unhealthy illness that needs to be addressed, just as an adult size zero has some kind of illness that needs to be addressed. A size zero? That is an ILLNESS. You can SAY it's natural, but no matter what, it cannot be denied that it is UNHEALTHY. If you are eating normally and are still that thin, you need blood tests.
horrible final remark. unacceptable. as if you cannot be thin an healthy! are these people being granted by the biscuit companies? ...or mc donald's? stupid.
