Actresses and Models Use Extreme IV DIE-YET for Weight Loss

It's a shame. It really is. I'm in total shock about this post over at Stylelist. I understand that as models you must maintain a certain level of "thinness" to remain competitive in the industry but I draw the line when it comes to starving yourself just to get work! According to the blog, actresses and models are using an IV drip dubbed a "bannana bag" (because of the color of the liquid) filled with essential nutrients for WEEKS at a time to lose weight and be skinner than their competitors. WTH!!! I don't know what's worse - the industry that demands that women risk their lives for the sake of fattening their pockets or the women that WILLING troture themselves and sometimes DIE just to be in the limelight.

It's one thing to want to lose a little weight to slim down because designers want you to loose an INCH or two to fit their garments but I cannot and will not agree to a model losing a drastic amount of weigh in an abnormal timeframe using ridiculous methods such as this. I don't normally request comments but I'd really like to know your thoughts on this. I don't want to just hear from the models I want to hear from ANYONE with an opinion on this - whether you agree or disagree with this IV DIE-YET!
