Ban of underweight models? - Page 2

Is the issue of girls/women trying to achieve the rail-thin look by developing eating disorder solely due to the models of the catwalk, because as i see it this issue isn't just around the catwalk it's everywhere in magazines, film industries etc most people recognise that as beauty.
Is it necessary to take such drastic action or is it up to the fashion organisers to set a new trend and put things right?
Do you think any kind of action (whether it be a ban or effects of fashion organisers) will have any impact or is it a global standard which cannot be reversed?

 

I think YES..they should be banned..not only for their own health reasons but also b'coz it gives a good example to the youngesters that being too thin is dangerous..this way at least the teenagers would think twice before copying them...

 

btw...^ the above pic. is scary..🤢 cudnt stand that😒

I don't think a ban as such would help. As Sheen pointed out the photographs of underweight celebs - i don't think a ban would affect them whatsoever since they aren't catwalk models. What i'm saying is a ban would only restrict fashion models and this is much more widespread than within the fashion industry whereas, if Fashion organisers decided of their own free will to have healthier women model at catwalks this may have an effect on the judgement that people make of what the 'right' size should be for a women.

banning would be too hard...but I would say that they also have some healthy models...

I don't think a ban is necessary but I would go for a good healthy body mass range for models. That way it can accommodate both slim and heavy models. No one wants to see anorexic models like the one posted in this thread. I don't want to see obese women either. I would say that there should be events for full figured models too so that large women don't feel isolated. Being too thin or obese are both signs of unhealthy lifestyle and both shouldn't be encouraged or made roll-models for the young.

ban them
if ur a bit curvy then ppl call u fat
look at tyra bankss ppl made fun of her saying she was so fat but she was saying that we should promote healthy models

I guess it is important for kids to start eating right things and right amounts of those and know that extreme of any kind in eating behaviour should be avoided.
loved your post    👏
