Thank god for sanity! Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and yes Virginia, there are skinny models too. In the US at least. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) said their “Health Initiative is about awareness and education, not policing,”

Going on they added “While some models are naturally tall and thin and their appearance is a result of many factors, including genetics, youth, nutritional food, and exercise, other models have or develop eating disorders,”

I am still reeling over the fact that Madrid and Italy have instituted bans based on strict numbers via BMI. This does not allow for many variations based on age, genetics, etc.

What is probably one of the most ironic things about this whole ordeal is that the US i facing a pandemic problem with obesity but is approaching this topic with the most level headed ideas to date. Sometimes I get to be proud of this country. Well done CDFA. Well done. It almost brings a tear to my eye. Actually… It doesn’t in any way at all. Ahh. I can sleep easy knowing more education and healthier eating will be served. Seconds please.
