French Dissing on the Thin
The French parliament’s lower house decided this week that thin is no longer in. I guess they would rather see plus-size models on the walkway. If they are going to ban overly-thin then ban overly-fat. It sounds very prejudice and unfair to me. I am a thin person and am offended that the French would adopt such a law.
The law says that anyone promoting “extreme thin” including websites, fashion magazines, and advertisers will be committing an illegal crime. So you can be as fat as a mountain but have limits on how thin you can be. This is discrimination and I hope the French Senate will not allow this to pass through.
There are so many reality shows making people eat excessive foods then you have your model shows where they diet some. I think people know their limits they can overly commit themselves and there does not need to be a law telling someone how much weight they can gain or loose.
What’s next are they going to outlaw Diet cola? I mean how can they tell when someone is overly thin? They going to jail someone for being too thin when they see them walk down the street?
I believe the wording of the law specifically targets anorexia and promoting anorexia, rather than natural thinness.
