No bare midriffs due to potential eating disorders
I guess I'm not paying enough attention to cheerleaders these days. . .
The AP reported a story that says Australian cheerleaders can't show midriffs because the visible skin might encourage eating disorders.
At least the live cheerleaders aren't airbrushed like the magazines. And wouldn't a freakishly skinny hyper-screaming woman discourage eating disorders?
According to the AP story, this follows similar moves in the U.S. The better thing to do is to require a health class that teaches the importance of proper eating habits.
