The British Fashion Council recommends that girls under 16 be banned from the fashion runway.
  • No panacea...

    ...but I'm in favor of anything that helps protect these girls from exploitation.

    Considering a girl can go from "perfect" (in the mind of the idiots in the industry) to "no good" in the course of a year, I'd say "yearly checkups" are too seldom. Maybe *random* monthly blood draw to check for signs of malnutrition, drug abuse, imbalanced blood chemistry, etc. would be better. This would eliminate some of the arbitrariness of BMI limits.
