Good that they are approaching it medically. But will they ban overweight models?

I don't know. I hope they ban obese ones as being anorexic is just as bad as being obese. Although I do think that when they do BMI they should try to take muscle weight into account.

Obese models should be banned, but simply overweight models would be left to model for clothing made for overweight people.
I am for stopping the anorexic modeling standard, but using the BMI index isn't going to be an accurate measure. My boyfriend and I have to get biometric screenings for work (different work places, both within PA law enforcement regulatory requirements), and we were both labeled obese. He is a 6'6" competitive power lifter and I am a 5'9" kickboxer/former power lifter. Our muscle mass makes us obese according to BMI standards despite being healthy and physically fit. At my height, they want me to be 48 pounds lighter, and that weight makes me look like I am deathly ill. BMI is bullshit.
