France - The French National Assembly on Tuesday adopted a bill that would make it an offence to encourage anorexia or extreme thinness through "death messages" on websites, magazines and in advertisements. Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot said the legislation would help stop messages disseminated on the Internet through pro-anorexia websites providing advice to girls on becoming ultra-skinny. "Encouraging young girls to lie to their doctors, advising them on foods that are easier to regurgitate and inciting them to beat themselves up each time they eat is not freedom of expression," Bachelot told lawmakers.
