are put up by the fashion industry as the standard to which all young girls should aspire to, I will agree with you completely. Until then, the distinction is pretty clear. The use of anorexic models is causing young girls to become anorexic so that they can have the look. That is not good and I applaude the fashion industry for finally taking some steps.
