Runway models are anorexic

According to the editorial pictorial in the January issue of PLUS Model magazine, most runway models have BMIs that classify them anorexic. ABC News says:

The editorial — intended to be revealing in both senses — is aimed at the fashion industry, but its immediate audience is ordinary women who are increasingly dissatisfied by fashion’s unwillingness to market to them, the magazine said. Half of women wear a size 14 or larger, but most standard clothing outlets cater to sizes 14 or smaller, it said.

Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today, she weighs 23 percent less, it said. A decade ago, plus-size models averaged between size 12 and size 18. Today, the majority of plus-size models an agency boards are over size 6.

The article could also have revealed that outside the world of runway models, modern people are more obese than fifty years ago. The 'average woman' has ballooned in size from eating and drinking all that junk that's high in sugar and saturated fat.
