Is there anything being done to prevent bad media messages accociated with the cause of eating disorders?

Written by on August 23, 2009 · 1 Comment

Are there any laws or rules being put in place to stop the media from causing/adding to eating disorders and body image issues?

For example, banning airbrushing in magazines or not allowing models with a BMI lower than 18.

The situation is getting better but it’s slow going. I think parents’ influence is the biggest consideration. We cannot continue to send the wrong messages to our children.
