Jockeys have had minimum weights since forever. No outrage.

Why do people like you not understand the difference between a standard imposed by private industry/organizations versus government laws?

Do you understand the term "occupational safety"?

BTW jockeys weights are set by the state racing commission, i.e. government.

I do understand the term occupational safety. The problem with over-regulation is that we get things like the homeless being denied donations of day-old bagels because of carb content.

There are some women that are naturally tall and gangly. Others do starve themselves. At what point is the cut-off point regarding personal choice?[/quote]
 Wow really? You don't know much about the industry do you? Most of the models are underage and there have been deaths and serious health issues. Guess in your world your kids would be at the coal mine for a 12 hour shift. Its Sunday, maybe you should get back to work?[/quote]

It's insignificant.

"According to the National Institutes of Health, obesity and overweight together are the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States, close behind tobacco use (3). An estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to the obesity epidemic"

Anorexia and bulemia? Not even in the top 100 causes of death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_causes_of_death_by_rate[/quote]

Wait, I thought this argument was about what France regulated. When did the topic become an American regulation?  Perry Americans, always thinking everything revolves around them.  [/quote]
