What Ever Happened to Just Blaming Barbie?

Argentina has an anorexia problem. Who to blame? Activists are launching a campaign against designers who only produce tiny sizes. The Christian Science Monitor reports:

Prompted by anecdotal evidence and expert testimony, the Argentine legislature is considering whether to force clothing manufacturers to cover "all the anthropometric measurements of the Argentine woman" up to size 54 (the equivalent of extra large in the United States)….

Girls being treated for anorexia at ALUBA, Argentina's most prestigious anorexia clinic, told a reporter they would welcome the opportunity to find the latest styles in larger sizes.

"There's never your size; it's always smaller," says Natalia, to nods of agreement from other patients.

"The companies don't want big girls wearing their brands because it looks bad," says Yamilia.

I hate those designers as much as the next woman, but I'm pretty sure anorexia is more complicated than Max Mara camisoles. Perhaps the problem has something more to do with an anorexia clinic being "prestigious."
