Banning Skinny Models in London- Let's get a Big Mac

If you listen very, very carefully, you'll be able to hear the collective exhalation and slurping of some of the world's top models as they sigh with relief and tuck into hamburgers.

One of the biggest brands in British fashion has announced it will not send waifs down the runway at London Fashion Week. "No size zeros," Topshop declared, days after Fashion Week organisers refused to follow Madrid and Milan in banning bony babes entirely from the event.

"We are going to set the scene at the opening of London Fashion Week and I hope everyone else follows," Sir Philip Green, head of the Arcadia group, which owns Topshop, told the London Telegraph. "We all know what the definition of unhealthy is and we want to try to act correctly, responsibly and without causing a rift."

Setting a level is really good to carry in a positive message to the younger gerneration.
