I have one statement to give, the fashion industry is promoting in all the magazines, on television and the actors that are going size 0 are promoting that the size 0 is the new sheek way to look (aka starve yourself, and see if you can reach our perception of perfection without killing yourself). The entertainment world has a big influence on our society, and I think for promoting such things they also need to take responsibility for what their actions have created. They have started banning the size zero in some countries, however, that isn't going to last very long. Back when John F Kennedy was president women like Marilyn Monroe were considered beautiful, she had a natural hourglass figure and her BMI was proportionate to her weight, now days our younger generation are looking up to stick people which are barely alive and yet the entertainment industry is making them glamorous, and putting them up on a pedestal. One example would be Tyra Banks, the fashion industry is making a huge deal about her gaining 30 pounds, once she was the most beautiful Victoria Secret model now she is being called fat in the magazines, and if you don't think this doesn't have any mental impact on today's generation you are wrong. Tyra in her latest issue is publicly stating that you can be a healthy weight and be beautiful and sexy, which is an obvious contradiction from what the fashion industry promotes.
