Make us gain weight (but not too much muscle, or you're BREAKING THE RULES)? Make us stay indoors? The whole thing is just nanny-state bull, and I can't imagine something like this will stand.I should say, however, that I agree with some of the more obvious points; no models under 16, no one who is dangerously thin, that sort of thing. But I think that should be addressed more from the employer side of things; classifying models who are excessively thin as a health risk, or a product of corporate negligence, something so that it becomes a monetary problem for the company, rather than some kind of high-handed moral statement handed down from on high.Why not put the money into educating people that ARE overweight? Instead of trying to limit and industry that has some, but still a limited influence on people's lifestyles. I would argue that TV and movies are much more likely to influence the average citizen, then fashion.
