Action over thin models?

An anorexic Brazilian model's died the day before she was due to fly to Paris for a photo shoot. Ana Carolina Reston, 21, weighed just over six stone (40kg). That's the same as the average 12-year-old girl.She was 5ft 6in tall and was admitted to hospital three weeks ago with a kidney malfunction after living on tomatoes and apples. The organisers of the Madrid fashion show in September banned anyone from the catwalk who was too thin. We want to know what you think about skinny models. Should the fashion industry take action? Are they too thin? Is it their fault?
