Byram leads celeb stance against size zero culture

FORMER Irish model and presenter of the controversial Swan extreme makeover TV programme, Amanda Byram is the just one of a growing number of celebrities taking a stand against size zero culture saying “there are more important things than being a certain size”.

Her comments in women’s magazine Cosmopolitan, which has run a ‘My Body Rocks’ campaign this summer, come days after Germany’s most popular magazine announced it is banning professional models from its pages in favour of “real women”.

The editor in chief, Andreas Lebert, said the magazine will feature a mix of prominent women and regular readers in photo spreads for everything from beauty to fashion to fitness.
