The study also claims that all you need to do to reap the health benefits is sip on a glass of prosecco every day.

California bill to fight fashion models’ eating disorders advances

April 7, 2016 By admin

By Sharon Bernstein SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) – A California bill aimed at reducing eating disorders among models cleared its first legislative hurdle on Wednesday, following efforts in several countries to fight extreme thinness in an industry that pressures models to lose weight. The measure would require the state to develop health standards for models and regard them as employees of the brands they represent. “The goal of the bill is not only to protect the health of the workers themselves, but also to help young people who emulate models,” said the bill’s author, state Assemblyman Marc Levine, a Democrat who represents the Marin County suburbs of San Francisco.

France clamps down on ultra-thin models, requires medical cert

December 18, 2015 By admin

French lawmakers on Thursday adopted a bill forcing ultra-thin models to furnish a doctor's certificate confirming they are healthy and magazines that Photoshop their silhouette to tag the images as “touched up”. The bill stipulates that models must obtain a medical certificate stating that their health, “assessed in particular in terms of body mass index, is compatible with the practise of the (modelling) profession”. An earlier draft of the bill had caused howls of protest in the fashion industry by proposing that a minimum body mass index (a measure of body fat based on height and weight) be imposed for models.
