PARIS: France's health minister says she supports plans to criminalize the use of advertising with anorexic models in France. Altogether a good thing as I've known at least three ladies with horrific anorexia issues.
The measure would put France, a world capital of fashion, among countries like Israel and Spain to crack down on the glorification of dangerously thin models. Hasta la vista Calvin Klein!
Socialist lawmaker Olivier Veran wants to add language to an upcoming health reform bill to make it illegal to employ models deemed to have an eating disorder.
A second would make it a crime to glorify "excessive thinness," which would target pro-anorexia websites. It would be punishable by up to one year in prison and 10,000 euros ($10,575) in fines...Israel and Spain have already instituted such laws. In 2007, Spain banned models from the catwalks whose body mass-to-height ratio was below 18. In Israel, a law in 2013 banned underweight models.
