Another Aspiring Brazilian Model Dies of Anorexia
Even after Brazilian modeling agencies signed a policy which restricts anorexic models from entering the profession, yet another woman has lost her life to the disease. Maiara Galvao Vieira, a 14 year-old aspiring model is the fifth Brazilian woman to die of complications related to anorexia in 3 months:
Galvao Vieira, who was 1.70 meters tall [about 5' 7"] and weighed about 38 kilograms [about 84 lbs.] was in the Miguel Couto hospital for over a month, after having been in three other public hospitals and no one being able to diagnose the disease.
And no, it wasn't in some small town in Brazil, it was Rio de Janeiro. According to 20 Minutos, the victim's parents say that she was so weak that she was unable to climb the stairs to her school.
Two other high-profile anorexia deaths were Ana Carolina Reston, the Brazilian who was 5'7'' and 88 pounds
and Luisel Ramos (Uruguyan, 5'9'' and 98 pounds):

OMG!!!
I am 5'8". I remember reaching 100 lbs at 5'5" in 4th grade... yes, I was a tall one and back then I was called "a string bean".
I am sick of seeing THIN models, I'd rather see FIT and HEALTHY models.
Those poor girls

I can't believe that people still try to say that today's fashion models do not contribute to anorexia. How much more proof do you need? It's so very sad.
