Recently in the news there has been much debate over banning ultra-thin models from the runway in order to promote healthier eating habits and lifestyles among the fashion industry. In one article, the British Fashion Council said this:
“We believe that regulation is neither desirable nor enforceable. What will make a difference is the commitment of the fashion industry to change attitudes through behavior and education.”

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with the statement made by the British Fashion Council? Why or why not?

I think that it is important for models to not be so skinny. When they are that skinny, they do not get proper nutrition and are not keeping their bodies healthy. Even though most people want to be their size, it is unhealthy and should be known. I agree with the British fashion council because the fashion industry needs to change the way that models and normal people look at their bodies, behavior, and education about why there are doing so much harm to them. It may look more appealing to be so skinny that fat but it is definitely better for you to have some meat on your bones. Models are putting ideas on the world’s views that are so wrong. We should not want to be super skinny. If someone is trying to become super skinny, they are probably going to go on an unhealthy diet which may lead to anorexia or even worse bulimia. These models are not making a good impact on the world and there should be a change. The fashion industry should stop telling everyone to be super skinny and have a little meat on your bones. It does not have to be a lot, but it is better than none. I believe that skinny models should be banned. Models are putting out wrong messages, and maybe even making girls want to become anorexic or bulimic. This is wrong and should be stopped. Skinny models are just bad influences and need to be stopped.
i completly agree with banding these " too skinny models". i thinjk thats its such a great way to make teen girls see that thin is not always what people want to see. because of the pressure of the media most teens develope anerxia and/or bulimia. wich are diseases that either someone throws up thier food or doesnt eat at all. most models are put under the same pressure and probly all of them have these eating disorders. i for one know alot of people with eating disorders. they seem to also be depressed with themselves or overly stressed. and think that making them thinner will make people like them more, or get them more attention. niether is a good thing. it usually gets to the point were they are basically just bones and are too weak to do anything. and they are forced to go to rehab. and there life isnt really the samme after that.
im so glad that the fasion industry is banding some of these rail thin models. i think it will have a really great influence on us.
I also believe that it is important to not have super skinny models. When models are super skinny, it causes people to think that they need to be that skinny too. But the truth is that most of us girls dont look super skinny like most models. I mean, yeah, there are those kind of people who can eat absolutley anything and not gain a single pound.. but not everyones like that and the british fashion council is right by banning the super skinny models from the runway. and by taking off ultra thin models of the runway, it can cause many teens to stay away from eating disorders because their role models are those skinny models. the lean girls are setting a horrible example for those who arent ultra thin, because it makes them think they if they would only get skinny then they would be popular or get a boyfriend or something, but thats not true because i have brothers who have told me that guys dont really care if girls arents super skinny. sure, they want them to be healthy but not so skinny were you could count their ribs. This is why banning ultra thin models from the runway in order to promote healthier eating habits is a smart and logical thing to do!!
models theses days are way ways toooooooo skinny. every years it seems modles are getting skinnier and skinner each year. now they are like walking bones. now girls try to starve themselves becasue they see such skinny girls in the magizens. i think that models should be healthy looking. too skinny of models give us a bad world view. when i look through magizens i always wish that i could look like the girls on the pages but then i realize that they are like 60 puond and i seriously rethink that. i am happy with they way i look and i am gld that i dont look freakishly skinny or like a bone and other girls should think that as well.
