Banning of Extremely Thin Models, Creates Legal Boundaries To Beauty Standards?

And now it's France's turn to ban the use of extremely thin models in fashion shows. The French law has crafted a bill that makes illegal the posing of anorexic thin models especially in websites and publications media.

Extreme thinness was said to be encouraging severe loss of weight. Thus, the government and other concerned groups make the effort to fight self-inflicted starvation from weight problems. If the senate arrives at a decision that favors the bill, those who tend to promote anorexia by using extremely thin models in their fashion campaigns are fined with up to 45,000 euros and three years of imprisonment.

There are oppositions to the bill, on the other hand, majority of which are coming from the influential French Federation of Couture. The federation believes that there should be no legal boundaries to fashion and beauty standards. "Never will we accept in our profession that a judge decides if a young girl is skinny or not skinny," it said. "That doesn't exist in the world, and it will certainly not exist in France."

So, which side are you – the one that puts health before glamour by passing the law to fight the trend of anorexia in the modeling and fashion industry?

Or the other one that declares "no fat chicks" philosophy and immortalizes beauty in diversity by acknowledging the aesthetic appeal of extremely thin models?
