People all over the world look to fashion models for hints as to what the hottest styles include. These models wear only the best clothing, the best accessories, and the best make up. It is also considered that they have the best bodies as well. However, do they have the healthiest bodies ever?
There is a lot of controversy regarding the weight of the fashion models of today’s fashion scene. While weight seems like a petty thing to be concerned about, in this case it is a very important thing. The weight of the models is decreasing at an alarming rate as these models try to be skinner than their competition. This often leads to health problems including high blood pressure and dehydration. It also leads to fatigue and digestive problems for these models.
In addition to the too skinny models having serious health concerns for them, they may be inadvertently causing health problems for young women and men around the world as they attempt to follow in the model’s footsteps. There are many young adults who look to the models not for fashion advice, but rather as the rules as to what fashion is. These young adults notice how all of the models are skinny and therefore assume that if one wishes to be accepted and viewed favorably that they too must be skinny. This leads to poor diet, poor self esteem, and poor health. This is intensified in a body that is undergoing hormonal changes since that takes up more calories and adds to the stress of the young adult.
While it is unfair to blame the models for the behaviors of the young adults, it can be said that these issues need to be resolved. By adding a little extra weight to those super skinny models, the clothing will fit better and look better. By adding this little extra weight the model will feel better and look better as well. By adding a little extra weight, America’s youth will be less likely to go to extremes in their dieting and body issues. This can lead to healthier children and adults.

| Kay | 08-04-2009 | | Yea some models might just might be naturtally be thin but when they lose weight when they are under weight thats messed! |
| Sarah | 03-25-2009 | | I think they are very skinny, emaciated and unhealthy. Of course some people are naturally skinny, but when someone starts looking like a starving African child, it makes you think. Having people this thin all over the media gives girls and women horrible ideals. |
| Jennifer | 03-22-2009 | | I am a fashion designer and I think that some of the models now are too skinny. Whever wrote this aricle is absolutely correct, the clothes would fit better on a girl instead of a skeleton. |
| Robert | 02-10-2009 | | No they are not to skinny they are just right. |
