French parliament’s lower house adopted a groundbreaking bill Tuesday that would make it illegal for anyone — including fashion magazines, advertisers and Web sites — to publicly incite extreme thinness. This body image law includes pro-anorexic sites, pictures, ads, everything! The bill was the aftermath of the death of an anorexic Brazilian model. The international fashion industry is finally addressing the consequences of being ultra-thin. Fines can be up to $47,000!!! Good for them!
