Comments on: France Closer To Adopting Body Image Bill

Law Would Make It Illegal For Media To Encourage Extreme Thinness

I find it odd that it''s okay for some of you to call really skinny people disgusting and ugly but when those words are applied to a fat person, people flip out and shriek about how cruel and mean it is.

how about americans outlawing obesity, hey if the dirty french can ban smoking why wouldnt fat ******* americans can''t do so by banning McCrock Shiiit too, who knows it''ll make them make smarter comment about french hygiene next time.

That model in the picture? I wonder how close she is to death. From the way she looks in the photo, I wouldn''t think she has more than a few days to live. Anorexia is not ***, it''s sickening.

The problem with all of these posts is that people are assuming that the National Assembly is cracking down on the POPULATION!! They are not... only on advertisers who use certain types of models in their advertising. Advertising regulation has been around for many years.

Or; why not make it mandatory for all americans to visit europe so we''ll be rid of ignorant comments like "regular bathing"? no, wait a minute, just stay where you are...

and shaving too!

Now, if they would just add a ''regular bathing'' amendment to this bill, it would greatly improve France.

Lol - yeah that''s the real problem, forget how skinny people are, that''s their choice and if they want to b disgustingly thin that''s their problem, just as with the fat people "weighing" down our health care system, why should my tax dollars go to support some fat slob that eats big macs all day and cant get a job because he''s so fat he is considered disabled - that is truely a hypocrissy - just take the food out of his house for a month or two - he will slim down!!

Just have a McDonalds on every corner like here in the US. That will turn things around.

If they can regulate how thin you are, what''s to keep them from regulating how fat you are?
