Israeli model dies of anorexia!

When Israeli fashion model Hila Elmalich died last week after years of fighting anorexia, she weighed less than 60 pounds. Her death sent a shockwave through Israel's fashion world. Elmalich, who had been in and out of hospitals for several years, collapsed at home and died Wednesday of heart failure.

Do you think Israel should follow Brazil in their quest to make models healthier by requiring them to have a minimum Body Mass Index (BMI)?

i love food... really any food

Yes. I agree with Oren, and yes, this is a very good idea.  I think that no one should have to get to the point where they think they need to be sacrificing their health for their career.  It doesn't matter what the career is.  A person's health should come first to anything and everything.  If this is working in Brazil, I think that Israel should 100% go for it, and prevent this from happening again.

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,


Yes sure.  Very good idea.  Just few more facts: Hila was about 1,70 c"m, and suffered from anorexia for the last 21 years ! (since she was 14 !).  When she died she was merely 23 k"g.....  unbelievable !.   In her wish to be skinny she went one step too far....  and we all should avoid it.  This idea is GR8.
Best regards.

The effects of Anorexia Nervosa are serious and wide-ranging. Of any known psychiatric disorder Anorexia may have the highest mortality rate. Approximately ten-percent of known diagnosed cases of the disorder eventually die of related causes and complications. The suicide rate of people with anorexia nervosa is higher than that of the general population and is purported to be a major cause of death for those affected by the disorder. Data suggests that less than one-half recover in full, one-third improve their conditions, and twenty percent remain chronically ill.  But it's hard to say what to do about it.
