Anorexia amongst young women is also a huge problem, and sets up all sorts of problems in later life - lack of fertility, may be contributory to later osteoporeosis, smoking addiction, that sort of thing. I don't see Giles CuntCoren putting a tax on the image industry to compensate for that.
*nods* Heh, never mind putting a tax on the image industry, try taxing the bloke who invented the BMI in the first place. I just ranted on my journal about a BMI chart that dubbed me 'fat' at 10 stone and 5'3, which, had I not had my head screwed on, might have led to all kinds of complexes about my body image. But it didn't, so that's OK. :)
