Our superficial ways are killing teens

So, earlier this year there was talk of the French government passing a bill that would require models to go for regular health check-ups to ensure they are healthy, eating and not underweight. French lawmakers have now passed this bill much to the delight of people everywhere. Retouched images of models in print and online media should now also be labelled "touched up", i.e. when a model is Photoshopped to appear slimmer or (and this I doubt ever happens) wider. Publishers will be subject to fines in case they fail to abide by this new law.

The average high-fashion model weighs less than F1 legend, Michael Schumacher, after being in an 83-day long coma, following a skiing accident, which is 50 kg.  So, clearly, there is an infatuation with super skinny frames. But is the modelling/ fashion industry really the main culprit when it comes to the perpetuation of eating disorders like most believe? I feel that it’s been made the scapegoat for many years.
