Seems the Spanish are getting serious about fighting anorexia:
"Five models hoping to be booked for Madrid's major fashion show were banned from participating because they are too thin. 68 international models stepped on the scales, like boxers, and five Spanish 'featherweights' failed. The girls had a body mass index, calculated on a height-weight ratio, of under 18 (56 kg for 1.75 metres or 123 lbs for 5'8"), the limit set by the regional government of Madrid."
Predictably, "anti-thin was criticised in Paris and New York"...
