Israel bans super skinny models, makes them submit to weight and BMI requirements
Israel: “GTFO and eat a sammich”
In a surprise piece of legislation, the state of Israel has banned models that are too skinny, saying that models, whether runway or advertising models, must meet certain weight and body mass index requirements before they can get paid. I think I shall call this the “Anti-Bag of Antlers” bill.
A new law passed on Monday requires male and female models to have a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 or more. Any less, and they require a note from a doctor. (Yahoo points out that under the new law, a six-foot-tall model, for example, would have to way no less than 136.5 pounds.)
More from Yahoo: “The legislation also bans use of models who “look underweight,” and creators of ads must disclose whether they used Photoshop or graphic programs to manipulate images to make the models look skinnier. Lawmakers are hoping the measure encourages a healthier body image among teens and fights the spread of eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. According to a study cited by the Associated Press, 2 percent of girls aged 14 to 18 in Israel have eating disorders.”
“Beautiful is not underweight,” Rachel Adato, one of the lawmakers who voted for the bill, told Reuters. “Beautiful should not be anorexic.”
