France Is Wrong To Outlaw Too Thin

Thinspiration, as propogated by pro-anorexia websites and online content,
has been made illegal in France. Is it right to police womens bodies and
minds this way?
.
Panic and obsession over womens body image prevailed in France on Thursday
with the passing of a new law that criminalizes thinspiration.
.
The law targets pro-anorexia websites and online content and punishes
content distributors for provoking people to excessive thinness with a
10,000-euro fine and up to a year in prison.

Last month, France dropped a longstanding proposal to ban underweight
models from the catwalk, since it violated the countrys employment
discrimination laws.
.
The same ban would have fined modeling agencies 75,000 euros if their
models failed to cooperate with routine BMI checks or if they booked a
model whose BMI was lower than 18. (In the U.S., anything below 18.5 is
considered underweight.)
.

.
But how will France police the ubiquitous thigh-gaps, thinspo hashtags,
and nothing tastes as good as skinny feels memes?
.
What qualifies as provoking people to excessive thinness and encouraging
excessive dietary restrictions on fashion and lifestyle websites? Will the
law extend to the mainstream? And how will censorship cure society of its
pro-anorexic tendencies?
.
Indeed, the new amendment raises myriad other issues beyond the mechanics
of enforcing it. It suggests that society cannot regulate itself; that we
have conformed to unhealthy standards of beauty and can only survive if
the government steps in.
