Where’s the ban on the plus-size models?

Last week, a member of the New York City Council “proposed pushing sponsors to ban abnormally thin models from walking New York Fashion Week’s runways,” according to a CNN report. (Yes, this is the same New York City that is banning trans fats from its restaurants as an anti-obesity measure.) Other jurisdictions have recently taken similar steps—partly to protect the models, partly to protect impressionable youth from seeing extreme skinniness idealized. There’s no question that anorexia is a real problem.
