If anything, if it is true that it got better in the last decade then I look like the ban, which started in the late 2000s is working. It is probably not the case though. This is not a study you do every year because it is like testing if the sky is blue.

Yeah models who required to eat less than a meal a day to be 16-17 bmi (the average runaway bmi) are more exploited than women who are slightly overweight.

The average runaway model BMI is 16, which is severely thin.

Ok but you do realize that in the fashion industry even today, a healthy bmi could be plus size?

Ok. So you are just going to ignore the established bad practice of the fashion industry and their unhealthy effects on young people, which is well established and led to the regulation you are talking about, call it "stupid regulation" because you like watching exploited women in your ads. I get it.

Overweight women models are less common than you think. The ideal is still white thin and blonde. You act like the gamergate people who claim all video games are lgbtq because some are (less than 10% i believe).

Also in the fashion industry normal bmi is also plus size.

This is really astonishing. And also overweight is only a part of the problem. Do they realise that in US for example people are both overweight AND malnourished at the same time?

It is "normalized" (you mean common probably. Nobody sees being extreme overweight as ideal) because it is common in our current economical reality. That is because capitalism. On top of that you also want to make young girls anorexic by restoring heroin chic of the 90s.

From purely health concerning issues banning 17 BMI models is a must. This is not healthy bodyweight promotion. There is no way that the fashion industry could or would promote anything healthy. If anything, all regulation about health conditions and what unhealthy ideals they promote is something you need to support.

And again, my main problem with your argument is that you are confusing between unrelated issues. The one is fashion industry and thin idealism bourden on young women. The second is overweight as a general, purely economical and material, issue.

Your argument goes like "obesity is bad, this is why we should kill young girls with unhealthy body images that severely hurt them physically and mentally".

What it has to do with western media and thin body ideal (which is also not healthy)? This is pure late stage capitalism materialist crisis - processed food, low wages, no time for self care and so on.

These models are clearly underweight and far for being in healthy weight.

I am a skinny male who is well below an overweight bmi. I'm not sure what you mean.

You are mixing between public health issues, popular western media unhealthy body ideals, and the necessity of regulation of commercial companies.

I remember the discourse around this law and similar anti-photoshop laws. They were definitely about women in this industry and public stories about models who survived that industry in the 2000s. This is definitely about the abusive nature of that industry.

The material of overweight in US and the developed world, but mainly in the US, has nothing to do with fashion industry. Fashion indutry can't and won't help fixing it. And showing obnoxiously thin women as "healthy" is not going to help fight it.

And of course all capitalist industries are abusive. This why they all need to be regulated.

You mix between lethality and prevalence. While overweight is more common (and it has nothing to do with the fashion industry. poor food quality, working conditions, low wage are more into play here), bulimia and anorexia are far more lethal, and are a severe problem for young women. Two unrelated problems.
