Perhaps the fashion industry will eventually see sense when models start dropping dead on the catwalk. Just how far do they think they can push this 'ideal'?

I noticed that somebody in the comments following that news item said 'don't blame the poor girl, it's not her fault that she's thin'. No, it isn't her fault. It's the fault of the fashion industry which says that she will not work unless she loses so much weight that she makes herself ill. That is not her natural shape.
