Another country is taking a stand on overly-thin models. Israel has passed a new law banning underweight models from catwalks and commercials.
The law uses body mass index to decide who can model and who can't. Anyone with a BMI of less than 18.5 is out.
Spain and Australia have already set minimum weight limits for certain fashion shows.
