Gisele Bundchen is Smart!

Gisele Bundchen says the fashion industry is not responsible for causing
young girls to suffer from anorexia - insisting it is the parents fault.
The 26-year-old supermodel is adamant the families of anorexic girls are to
blame for their problems, not the super-slim bodies promoted by models on
the catwalks.
Gisele told Brazil's Globo newspaper: "I never suffered from this problem
because I had a very strong family base. The parents are responsible, not
fashion.

"Everybody knows the standard for models is to be thin, but you can't
generalise and say that all models are anorexic."
In recent months, the weight of models has become the subject of an
international debate as to whether the current trend for very skinny models
is encouraging eating disorders in influential young girls.
Last September, underweight models were banned from Madrid Fashion week and
in December Italian designers introduced a requirement for models to submit
proof that they do no suffer from an eating disorder.
Four women in Gisele's home country of Brazil died last month from anorexia,
including 21-year-old model Ana Carolina Reston.
The supermodel, who previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio, left home aged 14
for a three-month modelling job in Japan, but said she always had the
support of her family.
She said: "You leave home, the protection of your parents, but you still
know you have their support."
