No fat chicks, and no skinny chicks either.

Just goes to prove that Israel does have some messed up morals. Maybe the US shouldn't be taking Israels word on invading Iran and Syria, Venezuela, and then Canada.

Reverse discrimination.

Like banning people because they have black hair, and then banning people who have blonde hair - because everyone knows that redheads are the best.

Uh huh.

Are you really that dense?

Models are anorexic because their employers push them to get skinnier and skinnier or lose their jobs.

If anything they are freeing the models from the way they are being manipulated by the agencies they work for.

You didn't read your own article, did you?

I thought a lot of the fashion industry as a whole were trying to ban the "anorexic look" ?

The best line from a movie I heard recently was from Contagion where a guy said "blogging is just graffiti with punctuation" ... that's how I feel about ZenOps posts

I dunno. The US for this generation will undoubtedly have a shorter lifespan than any of the previous generations.

Because of obesity.

I think its the smartest thing ever to idealize skinny models at this point in time, at least for the US - maybe not so much Europe or Canada.

Perfect - replace one eating disorder with another.

I'll always side with the ones that consume less. Same with oil and gasoline, at this time the more people that use less gasoline just means more and cheaper gasoline for me.

In the case of the models, the less they eat - the more 5¢ bacon double cheeseburgers for me.

Stanley Jevons would dispute that.

But he's dead.

I don't think he reads any at all. Just headlines, and then he makes up his own article up in his mind, then posts about it.

So the models will get to bulk up, pose in Israel, and not get jobs anywhere else? I'd think they'd rather stay skinny and have business all around the world then worry about shitty little Israel.

Yeah, because every model is international...

So much facepalm for you and ZenOps.

People actually have an issue with Israel saying "hey, we're concerned about health, so no anorexic models please"?!

Come on, people.

Actual models haven't looked like this for a while.

I'd take (almost) any fitness model over any anorexic fashion model any way
