    She does look gorgeous!

    Then again, I have a total girl crush on Adriana, so I'd still choose her over that first chick.
    ;P

    Meh.. I prefer Adriana Lima, who is also a healthy weight (btw).

    I love Adriana Lima but did you know that she was quoted saying she doesn't eat solid food for 9 days before a show? Some may think thats not healthy, but she looks healthy so its ok? There's more to health than judging someone's appearance.

    Though I agree with many models starving themselves, there are models that have fast metabolisms and are very tall giving them the appearance of "starving themselves." I know a volleyball player who is 6'1 and she is very thin. But she is extremely fit.

    I didn't say anything about her lifestyle, I said she is a healthy weight (if you look up her stats - you'd agree).

    You're sad because she is too skinny? Are you assuming she doesn't eat?

    This thread is a great excuse to post a picture of my favorite model, Ashley Graham. She's the one that was in the banned Lane Bryant ad.

    edited because my spelling was not so great and for better picture

    So now you want to turn this into lets talk about how bad eating disorders get, instead of what we can do to help educate people on eating disorders? There are people in the fashion industry helping. Since 2007 he CFDA has been working with designers to help educate models on health. I know this because I shoot fashion photography for a living and I make it a point to be aware of what's going on in the industry. In Israel, by law you can't model unless your BMI is 18.5 and above. How many underweight models did you see on the runway in 2013? I'm not saying that too skinny models are a thing of the past, but it is being worked on so why not be happy about it. Those young girls and women with eating disorders need help and someone is finally paying attention.

    Being skinny and a model doesn't make someone unhealthy. Just like some of us are naturally overweight, others are naturally skinny. It's life. Yes, some of those models resort to unhealthy practices to reach their weights but others just can't help it anymore than some of us can help being overweight. How about NOT trying to make people feel bad about their bodies NO MATTER THEIR SIZE! Healthy isn't a weight, it's what you eat and how you care for your body. Stop the body shaming!
