Banning based on BMI
BBC news reports that organisers of the Madrid fashion week are planning a ban of underweight models from their 2006 event.
A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25, and models falling below 18 are being banned, to give a better example for young women of healthy women’s bodies.
Wow, that’s a bit radical. Banning anyone based on their health seems to me to be a bad idea.
But it is to be commended - at least they’re trying to do something to promte positive healthy body image.
