Italy

Generally speaking, we love the designs of the Armani company, both for men and women. But this photo from armani.com, advertising their most expensive line (Prive, or Private) Is a good example of the reason that fashion comes under attack for encouraging unhealthy deprivations and dieting. The outfit is beautiful, but there is nothing healthy or robust about this woman. Look at those toothpick arms! Some women may think she has a great figure, if your idea of great is bulimic. And Armani is based in Italy, producer of sexy, curvy women in the great tradition of Sophia Loren, among many others. Healthy women are strong women; this girl needs to hit the nearest gym for some heavy lifting, and then the nearest pasta palace.
