"They have an obsessive fear of gaining weight or becoming far even thought they are underweight." (Normadi & Roark 11)

People basically have to understand that no one looks like supermodels and that not even supermodels look like they are portrayed in the media. They go through a complex process of 'retouching' in order to be shown in magazines and on fashion websites. Being unable to understand the falsity present in the world of fashion can have a particularly negative effect on a person. A woman can end up harming herself in order to be 'perfect' and is likely to experience depression as a consequence of being unable to reach a status she considers to be important (Fletcher 42). There are basically no limits to what some women resort to in order to be fashionable.
Supermodels are probably among the groups most familiarized with the strategies one needs to employ in order to stay 'perfect'. "I've heard stories that some modelling agents encourage girls to do speed and cocaine in order to speed up metabolism and eat less." (Kira Dikhtyar in From cocaine to eating cotton wool balls, how models stay thin)

All things considered the masses have to understand that the world of fashion promotes false dreams and that the contemporary fashionable image has nothing to do with being healthy. It is certainly sad to see society as a whole putting across an accepting attitude toward such behaviors.
