The Knesset, having solved all of Israel's other problems....

Oy vey!

I thought Helen Keller was hot!

how dare you. western women live a life under constant siege that is hidden away and unobservable. Despite the fact that women have longer, happier, healthier lives with less work, more time with their families, preferential treatment in the legal system, education system, family court, personal relationships, and professional lives, women need this kind of legislation to protect their fragile self esteem and body image. are you a misogynist?

Emaciated...Israel...nope. I'm not gonna touch this one.

it's about time they stop glorifying those boney looking women.

If I can see your ribcage, you need to eat a damned sammich.

Anyone have the pic of that funny "McRib is back" mock of that fatty model commercial from a few years back?

The first time I remember a thick chick telling me "this is the year of the big girl! No more skinny models!"?

1982.

I am.

But the McRib IS back!

It's sad that the Fat Agenda has finally won.

i have a natural BMI of 16, i am healthy, just unable to gain weight due to genetic disposition. it's great that this will deter ladies from starving themselves for the supposed industry standards, but it's also bollocks because it prohibits my participation.

also, i feel that hating on thin women, or as fark calls them "bags of antlers" is especially harsh considering some of us thin folk can't help our weight whatsoever. that is versus the overweight hate, where in most cases the larger ladies and gents actively ate (or immobilized) themselves to their "more to love" ranking.

The law, approved by the Knesset in March 2012, requires models to have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5, considered to be the minimum for a healthy person, for three months before doing a photo shoot.

So Babs, Bette and Behar are safe!

martid4: Soooo is that fat look!

I had the same problem all the way through college and grad school. At age 27 I moved to the USA, and I no longer have a problem with being skinny :)

Oh look, it's one of those stories they copied and pasted from last year and every year before that.

KiwDaWabbit: Emaciated...Israel...nope. I'm not gonna touch this one.

Go ahead and give it a shot. I'm sure your work will set you free.

Man, I can't wait to watch models popping diuretics & throwing up to make weight before a big shoot in Israel, like they're Floyd Mayweather Jr. or something...

Drink more beer. You'll get fat. Trust me :p

Kuroshin: That's fine.  I'll be behind-the-times.  I've got racing weight to think about.

If your BMI is below 18.5, you don't have enough muscle mass on you to be competitive at racing much.

Unless you're a jockey. (Which is cool.)

Hey, I take the Holocaust very seriously.
It's one of my favorite songs from the first Savatage album.

With the start of 2013 the so-called "models law" came into effect Tuesday, banning the appearance of underweight models in advertisements.

Or as it's called here on Fark, the "sharp knees & needs sammich law".

Not this shiat again.

/I mean, still

And the chubby chasers of Fark celebrate!

Amen to all the above!!!

Of course they're also going to ban models with a BMI over 25. Umm... Knesset? Guys? You're doing this to promote good health, not as some kind of PC bullshiat, right?

I know this is just for models, but I would love it if Oprah was deemed too fat to appear in ads for her own show. If the point is to encourage a healthy conception of what people's bodies should look like, Oprah is clearly a bigger problem than Kate Moss. No pun intended.

RIP

If you farkers wouldn't hit this you're gay are lying about being gay.
