Being too thin a crime????

So out of Paris came a new law saying that promoting being too thin is now a crime that carries a 2 year jail term. WTF!!!!! I get it but shouldn't lawmakers be more worried that most of the western world is suffering from obesity and not painful skinniness!!!! And honestly fashion houses have valid reasons for using thin models - the clothes hang better, they are cheaper to make as they take less material (yes this is really one of the reasons most haute couture labels don't carry anything over a size 6) and frankly they are models. They are paid to be the ideal of thin!!!!! It's called a fantasy! Don't get me wrong I am not promoting anorexia or bulimia. Those are indeed serious psychological diseases that warrant attention but I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "Oh look at her, I would kill to have her Rubenesque hips!"

When shows like the Biggest Loser are being shown in 90 something countries and terms like "obesity survivor" are being thrown around. (Yes I have a major problem with that term obesity survivor - how does someone survive from not shoveling food into their own mouths. Were guns really being pointed to their heads when they reached the drive through??? Or were they really facing impending death or severe withdrawals if they didn't have that supersized McD's meal???) How about the tv networks stop using fast food ads to lure in kids? Or even better parents not overfeeding their kids or feeding them crap??
Nothing disgusts me more than seeing an obese child or worse yet an obese pet!!!! It's not the child or pet's fault that their owner/parent cares so little for them (yes so little) that they overfeed them to placate or simply because they aren't strong enough to just say NO (lord knows how they will teach their children how to say no to drugs when they can't say no to addictive fats!).
And those idiots who sue the fast food chains because they are overweight. How is it the restaurant's fault? When did we become a society that masks its troubles with food yet blames everyone else for this (obviously a rhetorical question as it's the American way to blame everyone else for one's problems). Healthier options are everywhere yet the big companies have to jack up the prices for the healthier alternative. I, by no means, am claiming that I am the pillar of a healthy lifestyle - far from it in fact but I don't eat fast food at all (haven't done for years now - trust me this was no easy task since I loved Taco Hell) and I don't drink soda and I try to cut out as much high fructose corn syrup as I can from what I eat.
So does this law mean that the likes of Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn, Keira Knightley will all be arrested if they land in France. Mind you in LA they are all considered normal in weight. Absolutely ludicrous!!!!!
