Calling all jellies: Can you help me mount a debate against anorexia in the fashion industry?

Asked by poisonedantidote (21675points) April 2nd, 2013

Hi everyone, I need a favor.

My girlfriend is taking debate at university, and her finals are coming up. She has to put together another, final, 10 minute argument against a topic.

She has chosen anorexia in the fashion industry, based on the teachers criteria, that it has to be controversial, and meet other criteria to qualify as a valid topic.

We need some help, in sourcing arguments, statistics, studies and general sources for her to mount her debate.

I want to make clear, no one is doing her homework for her. I help her out with her debates all the time, because she also works full time as well as going to university, and does not have much free time.

To help her out, I research things for her, and send her a big file full of data, but she always puts together her own argument in her own words, on her own chosen topic. All I am doing is providing a summary of all the search results and sources, so she can just focus on writing up her argument, instead of searching 20 minutes for a graph or chart she needs.

Can you please help by providing some opinions or arguments, on why anorexia in the fashion industry is a bad thing, link to sources or studies, or provide any info you can?

Arguments in favor of anorexia in the fashion industry also welcome on the rare chance that you are in to that.

Thanks a million.
