Well, it depends on the methods they take to look like said models in my opinion...is it through healthy eating and exercise or is it starving, crash dieting and puking?

I also don't think there's nearly as big of a problem with underweight people as there are overweight....I don't think it's even close.

I think part of the problem though is that people won't be happy with who they are if society glamorizes something like a model.
