    The majority of models responding to the survey did not feel under pressure to have an unhealthy weight but a significant number said they felt ‘quite heavy’ or ‘very heavy’ pressure.

    What the hell is this conclusion in the report? Their own data shows “quite heavy pressure” as 10% and “very heavy pressure” as literally 0%:

    The overwhelming majority says there’s “no pressure at all.” With such a glaring error that is clearly just written to support their position despite their data contradicting it, this report becomes completely useless.

    The report opens with a bold statement:

    A small group of supermodels inhabit the world of celebrity. […] Their faces and bodies make a splash in the pages of national newspapers and glossy magazines but their voices are seldom heard.

    Oh no! Good thing we have this report to get their voices heard! What do they have to say?

    “It’s unfair to discriminate against naturally thin models by assuming they have an eating disorder”

    I see. The purpose of the report was never to make their voices heard.
