==The Spanish fashion industry is taking a stand against  thin models. Madrid Fashion Week may not be equal to the catwalks  of Paris or New York, but organisers are  turning away  women they say are too underweight.  Last year's fashion parade <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">led to <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> protests from medical associations and women's rights groups, who <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">complained <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> that the participants were <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> unhealthily skinny. ==

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">In response to <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">pressure <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> from the local government, the Association of Fashion Designers has agreed to use a calculation known as the <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Body Mass Index, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> based on weight and height to reject excessively thin models from this year's show. ==

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">The World Health Organisation says a person's BMI should be between eighteen-and-a-half and about twenty-five. Organisers of Madrid Fashion Week have decided <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">to ban <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> underweight models who have a BMI of less than eighteen. == ==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">The Association of Fashion Designers says thirty per cent <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">of would be <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">participants fail this test, including Spanish top model, Esther Canadas, who <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">reportedly <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">has a BMI of fourteen. ==

==<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">At this year's fashion week, models as thin as Esther Canadas will be offered medical treatment. Madrid's local government says it wants to set a more positive, healthy image of beauty for teenagers to follow. Spain's Anorexia and Bulimia Association says if designers <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> refuse <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> to follow these voluntary restrictions the government should legislate to ban thin models. ==
