Every teen knows how it is to flip a magazine page and see a model with a slim slender figure. This is when teens develop an eating disorder. One country has put a stop to it. Israel has created a law that bans models from being underweight. Lawmakers of Israel has created a law requires that models male and female have “a body mass index (BMI) of no less than 18.5—a standard used by the World Health Organization—or a note from a doctor saying they are not underweight before they can be hired for a modeling job.” (Yahoo) This may create a change on the modeling world but let’s hope it’s a change for the better.
