Naomi Campbell Speaks Out

According to the British supermodel, the industry cannot be blamed for the size of models.  The models that are too skinny have their own psychological issues.

At the Elle Style Awards, Campbell who won the title of model of the year, stated, "You can’t blame the industry for a psychological disease. It is a disease, like alcohol or drugs, and the industry is not to blame."

For the last few months, the industry has been trying to deal with the problem of anorexia that touches mostly female models.  The issue became even more pressing after two anorexic Brazilian models lost their lives.
