I
just read an internet news article about how it’s now illegal in France to be
an “excessively thin” model.
Apparently,
the new law will require all models to provide a medical certificate proving
their health and Body Mass Index (BMI) are appropriate based on their weight,
age and body shape.
The
new law provides for some rather steep penalties once it becomes effective on
January 1, 2017. So these “excessively
thin” models have some time to beef it up so to speak.
The
penalty is one that would be paid by those who employ these models and not the
models themselves. How does the
potential $81,000 penalty sound to you?
Well
what about here in America?
There’s
nothing like it thus far but leave it to our “Big Brother” government to decide
what’s best for us. Might something
similar eventually find its way here?
And
would it apply to “excessively thin” models like in France or perhaps another
category of less-than-desirable men or women?
Maybe
a good place to start would be to go after all those fatso middle-aged men.
Pax
Domini sit semper vobiscum
