U.N. airlifts food to starving French fashion models

PARIS -- In defiance of angry French officials, the United Nations disrupted Paris Fashion Week today to deliver emergency all-you-can-eat buffets and pot-luck suppers to starving female fashion models.
"We could not let the humanitarian crisis on Paris catwalks continue," U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. "The world community had to act to save the models of Paris from their own astounding stupidity and bad taste."
Under pressure from the World Health Organization, the French government changed the name of the country's most famous fashion show from "Ready to Wear" to "Ready to Eat" to encourage the models to stop at the buffet tables. The situation was so dire that U.N. peacekeepers and WHO medics were forced to set up buffets along the edges of catwalks to prevent models from collapsing from exhaustion and malnutrition during the show.
U.N. observers expected France to veto the Security Council resolution ordering the airlifts, but the chain-smoking French ambassador to the U.N. missed the vote when, in compliance with New York City's indoor smoking ban, he had to spend the entire session on the sidewalk.
Poor French waifs!

I agree with David that not all fashion models are starving. Im really skinny and everyone always thinks im anorexic, but i eat more than my parents. I eat every chance i get actually because im never full, i just have a really fast metabolism. Plus i have really small bones unlike most people, which makes it look like im really skinny too.

i agree, not all models are too skinny, but, some really skinny ones eg. lily cole, have been told that they're too big!! i think thats conpletely retarded! honestly.
i think that models shouldn't be too skinny tho, iv heard of models competing to see who can eat the least,

Give Me a Break, I have the exact same problem! I'm really skinny and I eat like a pig but I have a fast metabolism and I just loose weight too easily! And it's not my fault but everyone thinks I am anerexic or binge and I hate it!

I agree one hundred percent. Not everyone who is skinny doesn't a lot. That's stereotypical to people. And that is not fair in anyway. I'm the exact same. I am 5' 5'' and still growing and i still don't weigh 100 pounds. I am called tooth pick and used to be called anprexic al the time. But nowpeople know i eat like a pig! I ALWAYS eat. Now i'm called fatty or the fattest skinniest person they know, of course in a joking way. But again I agree just because you maybe fat and ugly shaped and you cant be a model doesnt mean you should go and say people dont eat! that just aint right. you can shove that crap in your fat rolls and be jealous all you want!

even if some of you dont think theyre too skinny..that doesnt mean they arent sending a bad message to SOMEONE. anyone who isnt as skinny as them could look at them and think thats whaat beautiful is and begint to develope unhealthy habits to lose weight. also younger girls need to see more than the super skinny girls (weather they are healthy or have a disorder) in the media.
i think all these skinny models are ridiculous and should realize there is more to life than being skinny
