While others may be lagging on the issue, the Council of Fashion Designers of America is set to walk its talk. In partnership with the Renfrew Center, a treatment center for eating disorders, the CFDA will set up health initiative booths inside Bryant Park during New York fashion week .
The stands will be scattered inside lobbies and backstage to provide information on the signs and symptoms of eating disorders along with the CFDA's recommended guidelines promoting health and beauty. Supporters can also sign a proclamation, which was launched in June, in support of their guidelines at the booths. Awesome.

I think it's a great move, but I hope they are as sensitive as they are informative. I have a friend who is naturally a size 00-0 and 5'10. She has been accused of having an eating disorder many times, I would hate to see them alienate people.
1I also hope for sensitivity, but there's a fine line between "sensitive to the people" and "turning a blind eye." Let's just hope that they're cautious but still active.
