[quote=Anonymous]Isn't this an example of a collective action problem? All those who use models know that they are promoting ill health by hiring too skinny models, but thinness is everywhere acclaimed and if one moves unilaterally it will be at a disadvantage. If government stepped in and forbade use of models under a certain BMI no one would be at a disadvantage. But the federal government has no authority here unless one can make an interstate commerce case. That leaves this in the hands of industry groups, but they are faced with the problem of how to make cheating more painful than it is worth.[/quote]
