Madrid takes a stand against ultra-thin models

Today's Thursday Style section of the New York Times has an article on the ultra thin models that stalked the runway in New York just a few days ago and who are now making the rounds of the fashion shows in cities like London and Milan. The interesting part comes half-way through the article when they mention Madrid ban models who do not meet the World Health Organization's weight standard for a healthy woman. For Spain, no model under 125 lbs would be found on the runway.
What do you think about the size of models now? Have we gone back to the early 90s when models were often given the look of one drugged? Let us know where you stand on the issue.
