Victimisation
What happens to those who fall victim to vanity sizing? Those who are naturally thin? Well, manufactures have come a with a solution for that. Sizes 2, 0, and 00. And there has even been speculation about negative sizes. It's as if they are trying to single out the thin, like it's completely abnormal and that being big is a good thing. Could this mean that the retail companies and other clothing manufacturers are trying to mask the true cause of this phenomenon?

According to Fashion Daily Wire, there is a t-shirt by "Moschino with the words "Good Taste Doesn't Exist" embroidered on the backside, proclaimed an end to the overdone tabloid sense of style as exemplified by Paris and Britney."
There is a possible new law in France that will prevent incitement to extreme thin ness. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/15/the-french-rethink-thin/. If you can read French an opinion article was posted at http://www.lefigaro.fr/sante/2008/04/08/01004-20080408ARTFIG00496-il-faut-sanctionner-ceux-qui-incitent-a-l-anorexie.php (You could use the Google language tools to translate if you cannot.) This is interesting - would you advocate such a law in Australia?
