sorry, you're too thin
well, it's about time. finally someone thinks that the health of their nation's young girls is more important than having abnormally thin models slink down their runways. it's a shame that our own American fashion peddlers don't do the same.
about a week ago, i overheard my daughters grace (6) and glynnis (8) arguing about whether a slice of chicken or cheese had more calories. i asked them if they knew what calories were, and glynnis said, "they're what make you fat." duncan (10) corrected her, "no, if you eat more than you need, they can make you fat." i don't think i'd even heard the word "calories" at their age. what is going on?

I think this is a good move... a few years ago the gymnastics governing body instituted body mass requirements to prevent bulimia and anorexia and I can tell from the gymnasts I see on TV that it has really helped. The same should be done for models.

One could thing about the excessively thin models - they trigger zero lust in myself and most normal guys.
