Today in France there are about 40 thousand people suffering from anorexia. Legislatures decided to fight this scourge with a cardinal method - criminal prosecution for promoting exhausting diets.
The bill, which will be discussed next week, provides for a sentence of three years in prison and a fine of 45 thousand euros for inciting a person to actions that later led him to death from anorexia. If a fatal outcome was avoided, the provocateur faces two years in prison. The new project also punishes the media, including magazines and websites that encourage severe fasting.
The proposal to punish for encouraging excessive thinness came amid a skyrocketing incidence of nutrition-related illnesses. In France, about 40 thousand people suffer from anorexia, and the vast majority of them are women.
The law does not prosecute those who advise people on healthy, healthy diets. His task is to punish those who force people to refuse food in order to lose excessive weight, as well as those who openly promote anorexia.
The development of the bill coincided with the appearance of a charter, signed by representatives of the French fashion industry, that only fashion models who do not suffer from excessive thinness should participate in fashion shows. Valerie Boyer, a senator for the right-wing Union for the Popular Movement, says she was prompted to draft the bill by a shocking advertising campaign by a firm featuring an anorexic French woman. Boyer argues that the project is not directed against those who are on a moderate diet or campaigning for this method of recovery. But those who drive people to exhaustion and “openly encourage anorexia” must be held accountable before the law.
