For many years, model have been accused of eating disorders and being anorexic. This is increasing even more in the past few years. The reason behind this is mostly looks. Models are almost always tall and thin. Many people think that they are often "too" thin, and accuse them of having eating disoprders. Since many girls follow fashion closely, people worry that these images of tall, thin, and (sometimes, in the case of magazines) re-touched models are not good role models.

Why do some modeling agencies demand models to be anorexic-thin?
Some agencies still stick to the age-old industry guidelines of wanting thinner models because of the belief that they are better suited to wear the designers' sample sizes, which tend to run very small anyway. There is also the continued belief that the models themselves are supposed to be "human hangers" that the clothes/fabric drapes over better and that this body type is less distracting and won't take away from clothes being featured. These days, many agencies are now switching from models that are anorexic-thin to those that are of a healthier BMI.
