    What is "too thin"?

    I saw this article.

    They are turning down models with a BMI of less than 18.

    The MetLife chart used by a large number of doctors shows a "healthy" BMI between 20-25.

    The article gives the math for how they calculate BMI.

    A 5'9" model would have to weigh 121.5lbs or less to be turned away.

    That's still scary-thin in my book.
