Models should keep their weight in order to keep their boss happy. A study says that modeling agencies require models to weigh below average. There is now scientific evidence that eating disorders are a major health problem in the modeling world.

Researchers found that 81% of the models had less weight. Many cause unhealthy lifestyles to remain zero, including they skip meals, use diet pills and make themselves vomit. More than half said their agency would not give them a job without losing weight. Eating disorders cause major health problems, such as heart damage, weak bones, organ failure and even death.
