French Bill to Crack Down on Anorexia Websites

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | April 16, 2008 - 08:27

Remember all the news coverage about fashion models being too thin? Now France is taking measures against this. The lower house of the French Parliament has adopted a bill that would make it illegal to “provoke a person to seek excessive weight loss by encouraging prolonged nutritional deprivation that would have the effect of exposing them to risk of death or endangering health.” [full text of bill, in French, from the National Assembly] The bill is particularly aimed at websites that promote eating disorders and starvation as a means of weight loss. Full news coverage from the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune.

Research Tip!! How’d I find the text of that proposed French legislation? (No, it wasn’t mentioned or linked in either newspaper article.) Answer: I went over to GlobaLex and looked up a research guide on French law, which led me to the National Assembly site and the bill text.
