From the article:

"Vogue believes that good health is beautiful," Jonathan Newhouse, Condé Nast International chairman, said. "Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the wellbeing of their readers."

My take is, it's basically a leap in the right direction. However, I think more so than fashion models, celebrities are body image icons for many women and girls (and men as well, but, whole other topic) and I feel like the real change we need in promoting healthy body image is in act of photoshopping, airbrushing and altering the dimensions of women in magazines. I wonder how long it will take until magazines follow Vogue's example by taking a more wholesome approach to the treatment of their models/subjects?
