Body Image Distortion Prevention
Ban advertisers and companies from using models (men and women) who weigh 85% of his/her supposed body weight. This is one of the DSM-IV criteria for anorexia. As of now, 70% of the women shown in the media are at least 85% below healthy weight. Young girls are comparing themselves to these women that are unhealthy, thinking that this is the ideal body image. This grossly unhealthy body weight standard promoted by advertisements is a contributing factor to eating disorders across the nation. These advertisements are misleading to the point of harming the public health and should be stopped. The solution is simple, it should be illegal to hire young women as models unless they meet this health requirement of at least 85% of their supposed body weight (this number depends on BMI, weight and height).

I can see the intention of this idea, however it's not specific enough. From a graphic designer's perspective who had minimal experience on fashion, I am interested where is the fine line to "image distortion". I'm not a photographer or had no experience whatsoever on photo shoots, however I'm aware that there are other techniques for body manipulation such as Camera Lens, Perspective, Lighting, Make-up can all affect the outcome of the body. My point is to what extent do we say the body is manipulated to
I do agree that the Beauty Industry should collaborate with the Health industry in terms of the body image. It is important to have an awareness on an accurate representation of a healthy body also to reveal all the misconception about health and body image, nonetheless there are also psychological and other factor that may cause someone's weight.

BAN? I'm assuming banning is more work for the people who will get involve and it may be complicated. Banning these big companies is very expensive and requires many support and money, however based from the video that sent me here, I thought the disclaimer idea seems fair.

My point is to what extent do we say the body is manipulated, since all images are not an accurate representation of the subject its representing. (Just a thought, I've always though the model were skinny, because designers wants to emphasize the clothing more than the body)
I would like to propose that the Beauty Industry should collaborate with the Health industry in terms of the body image (if possible). It is important to have an awareness on an accurate representation or range of a healthy body also to reveal all the misconception about health and body image, nonetheless there are also psychological and other factor that may cause someone's weight.
On a similar note, as someone had mentioned, people should not be stigmatize on the way they choose to represent theirs bodies, and have the rights to do whatever they choose to do on their body. And this is where the importance of showcasing body diversity.
To conclude: Banning is an expensive procedure, to what extent do we say that the body is manipulated, I would like to propose for raising awareness to body health. finally the rights and freedom to chose whatever you want.

Instead, it is more important to inform and enlighten as you have done in your video. I agree that this is a much slower approach and it will be quite a while before such persuasion will help us realize our goals of having healthy and sensible adults. But, we could accelerate this process if we can have technology help us find ways to provide added information, in real time, as we see videos like yours. This will help the viewer realize the consequences of such delusive behaviour. At present we can only do this with text where we can embed links in words or expressions. If we wait a while we will have a solution.

Именно благодаря работе этого надежного двигателя в наше время вы можете заказать в сети <a href=https://trak-130.ru/articles/337997>двигатель д 160</a> . Следующим полезным дополнением для трактора стало изобретение гусениц, как пишет ресурс trak-130.ru, гусеницы позволили в сотни раз увеличить проходимость трактора и положили начало их применению в государствах с не самым приятным климатом.
А когда на полях появились нормальные гусеничные трактора, сельское хозяйство довольно быстро перестало нуждаться в таком большом объёме ручного труда. Благодаря этому сотни миллионов человек освободились и были вынуждены искать себе новое применение. Частенько такими местами являлись крупные заводы, которые начали массово строить во всех государствах.
