Prime Minister of UK

"Minister in the U.K. Pushes to Ban Photoshopping and Underweight Models
By Amy Odell
U.K. equalities minister Lynne Featherstone will hold a series of meetings with fashion magazines and advertisers to discuss ways to promote images of healthy bodies to young people. Featherstone believes underweight models shouldn't be shot for ads and editorials, and that the images shouldn't be retouched. She would like to see health warnings on digitally altered images so viewers know they aren't real. "Advertisers and magazine editors have a right to publish what they choose, but women and girls also have the right to be comfortable in their own bodies. At the moment, they are being denied that," she said."
