I have seen this on BBC about The Nolita ad campaign that has shocked people with its image of an anorexic woman and the other night there was a special program about Hollywood Anorexic celebrities. My take is, No to Anorexia! I don’t mind my stomach is bulging and my neck is sagging. I just don’t promote unhealthy activity. Lol! As if shopping is a healthy activity!
“Italy’s anti-anorexia ads have divided France’s powerful fashion industry — with the high end couture federation deeming them “scandalous” while its ready-to-wear cousin hails a fresh move to keep skinny models out of fashion.
Asked to comment on photographer Oliviero Toscani’s striking image of a nude anorexic woman which was plastered on billboards and in magazines across Italy this week, Didier Grumbach, head of the French Couture Federation, told AFP:
“I’m pleased this is not happening in France. I find this absolutely scandalous.
“Winning notoriety through people’s illness is painful. What we’re seeing here is sensationalism by a label, to the detriment of an extremely serious social problem,” Grumbach said.
Toscani’s picture of Frenchwoman Isabelle Caro, who weighs just 32 kilogrammes (70 pounds) for a height of 1.65 metres, is part of a campaign by Italian clothing firm No-l-ita that was launched in the middle of Milan fashion week under the slogan “No to Anorexia.” NR.COM
Good lord, I hope that woman has been saved! That’s just awful.

The facts of anorexia :
Your body believes it is starving
You become weak
You are cold
Your skin becomes brittle
Your bones become brittle
Your hair may fall out
If you make yourself sick you destroy your throat
If you make your self sick the acid destroys your teeth
You find it difficult to go to the toilet
You can pass out
Your periods stop thus no children
And Finally your body begins to feed off itself and destroy itself, just because you wanted to be thin
IT’S JUST NOT WORTH IT, BE HEALTHY, BE STRONG AND HELP OTHERS WHO HAVE NO FOOD TO SAY NO TO, BE THANKFULL
