California considers banning anorexic models
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | February 22, 2016 | Melody Gutierrez

California would ban anorexic models under a bill introduced Monday in the state Legislature.

Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-San Rafael, said AB2539 is an effort to reduce the number of eating disorders among models by creating industry health standards and requiring modeling agencies to be licensed by the California Labor Commissioner.

Like wrestling of course .... Ya gotta have democrat-party approved weight classes for length of hair, height, bust, number of busts, waist, hips, number of legs, etc. But we cannot leave out trannies or metrosexuals either, can we?

On the one hand, its none of the government’s business. On the other hand, I find those skeletal cadavers totally repugnant, Real women have curves.

No such authority!

How do they measure or create a standard?

California politicians, always able to stick their nose in everyone elses business, and never able to tackle the important issue of the day.

California is what happens when the 30 percent of whites who are left-wing lunatics import enough never-assimilating third-world migrants to give themselves an almost permanent lock on power.

I say "almost" because eventually the third worlders will be numerous enough that they won't need the lefty whites anymore, then it's Zimbabwe time.
