No Thin Models in Women's Magazine
A German women's magazine wants to stop printing pictures of very thin models. They say that they had to make the girls fatter with photoshop in the past to reach at least some reality. Now they want to hire readers of the magazine and take pictures of them, pictures of people from daily life. The magazine says: "The 18 year old high-school graduate, [...] the musician, the soccer player".
It is a very dangerous state that most professional models are much too thin, because some girls try to be like them and stop eating. Current model industry has a very wrong ideal of how people should look like. Therefore, it might be a good step of the magazine to take pictures of usual readers even though it is not a youth magazine. You can consider it as a first step.
