France bans show skinny models

[mainpmf]

I'm afraid that they will start to use in their fashion shows show the fatties. Instead of fighting with the extra weight on the contrary, they raise the issue of anorexia. I don't like too skinny of models, but it seems to me that in the world the problem of excess weight much more relevant than anorexia.

No don't worry.
The fact is that France is one of the most utterly disgusted country by fatties.
You know that it's harder for a fat person to get a job than for a black one in France?

We hate fatties. We love food and cooking and we hate anything that shows food isn't perfect, so overweighted persons are not loved around.

So it's logical to raise awarness on annorexia, we already have largely enough propaganda against fatties.

LOL. Maybe America should take a chapter out of your rule-book? So, how exactly do you discriminate against overweight and obese people? Also, does the government have policies aimed at keeping people at normal weight?

Yes there are lots of programs in order to fight obesity. But the most important is that contrary to USA, school luches of young children are not in the hand of private companies so they eat good meals with water while US kids are fed in order to maximize profits of the company paid to feed them. That's the main difference and that's why they have so much young obeses...

There is no secret, when you hand out the health of your population to private companies, it gonna be the shittiest thing ever.

Why just models? What about office workers and why not ban on fat people?

It would make no sense and be pure discrimination.
Here, models sell their appearance and show it to the rest of the country, so it makes sense to try and limit what kind of image should be given. But if you're not selling your appearance why should we prevent you from working based on it?

And no ban on fat people because there is no need to. We're a country already hating fat people.

Such behavior of the authorities reminds me of the discrimination against smokers. Despite the fact that almost half of the population smokes and it is not prohibited by law-be everywhere, and smokers are only allowed in designated areas.

There are reasons why the governments target smokers. First of all, smoking is very harmful for those non-smokers who sit near the smokers. Secondly, huge expenses are involved in treating diseases such as lung cancer, which are caused as a direct result of smoking.

Not only France but also Italy bans the skinny model.
In my point of view this is a great step to maintain nutritional right everyone.
To be a good model sometimes you must be a so skinny and obtain so called zero figure.

This is somewhat unsettling. Even if someone does not like skinny models why must the state intervene and ban them? Its completely illogical, do other first countries that have extreme obesity problems ban models for being TOO FAT? No, they even encourage them as if dying from your blocked arteries due to extremely high cholesterol, heart attacks is somehow empowering. Have you seen Tess Holliday? She is a Plus Sized model and there is a video of her kneeling down for some reason and to stand back up to her feet she had to get support from 5 other women surrounding her.

I actually think you have a very good point if the government wants to ban skinny models then they should also be fair handed and punish overweight models for health and well being concerns. I mean if they risk their own health on one extreme the argument should follow that the other side should be addressed. Otherwise its a illogical area.
The counter being charging airline passengers based on a standard weight although tbh I feel like people are going to feel the cram already due to pitch on seats so it's discriminating to height as is unless a passenger pays for the legroom. Cheaper fares and all.

What is the essence of having this banned?  I cannot see a reason for it to be banned.  Why?  Enlighten me please.

I think skinny model is a disgusting thing because it displays women with such small body size, what the purpose?

[Aragorn_125]

France enacted a law banning the use for fashion shows and advertising shootings overly skinny models. Measure is dictated by concern for the health of both the models and the rest of the citizens, especially young women, said Friday the Minister of health Marisol Touraine. In a few years will look greasy and ugly models. Why then do shows? Who is going to watch them.

Interesting law. Did France become first country in the world where you cease to be a skinny model? I do not believe, while itself will not see it.

If the model eats well, but it has a thin body, then it can be admitted to shows, but if she has anorexia or she specifically torments herself with diets, then this model can not really be allowed to show so that she does not spoil her health.

[huntybunty]

It is a positive step to ban overly skinny models. Normal weight, healthy girls and women have too few positive images in the media.

[nursahath07]

this is good people should proud for any shape ...

The fact is that what is shown on TV and on the podiums greatly affects public opinion and even how young girls behave. Anorexia becomes like Propaganda and it's very bad for all of humanity.

[Almat]

This is getting ridiculous. If they're creating regulation for overly skinny models, they should also create regulation for morbidly obese ones. They're roughly equal as far as health concerns go. You can't tell fat people they're beautiful the way they are, then shame skinny ones in the same sentence. Body positivity goes both ways.

[MostHigh]

They should define overly skinny. I agree that there are photo shoots glamorizing women with obvious anorexia(these are often shot in black and white for some reason), but I'm starting to see people labeling fit girls as overly skinny too. I like models who have body type like lets say Taylor Swift for example. Skinny and fit is feminine, fat not so much.

Did you say skinny and fit is feminine, hahaha. This i dont believe has any bases but i think the ministry has a point there. I have seen the level at which people will want to go to qualify as models. some are removing their ribs to get a tinny waste, while others are breaking their fibula bones and joining it to achieve more height. In our world nowadays where a lot of will is allowed there needs to be some good controls in place otherwise people are ready to die just to be called models. Keep it up Ministry

[hunker_down]

I think this is a great thing.

We all know that people look up to role models and fashion catwalk models are seen as the most beautiful people in the world. If young girls look up to girls who are at a extremely unhealthy weight, they will think they have to try to achieve unhealthy weights.

[bramborakymilenec]

I think they need to define what is considered too skinny.

I think it should be a great thing, we all have seen impossibly skinny models on tv and for our daughters, sisters and wives to match that is unhealthy and dangerous.

But if it is just a left wing "fat is beautiful" thing then it is just stupid.

[grixxby]

Nope, this is as dumb as it gets.

People should be free to try to hire whoever they want.

They want skinny ones ? Let them hire skinny ones.
They want fat ones ? Let them hire fat ones.

that is not the factor why they put a ban on it. It is because most of girls will cut down weight just to be a model which is very bad to their health and i believe the modelling industry has a lot of models who suffers anoxeria nervosa.
