QuoteA new law banning the use of super skinny fashion models in France came into effect on Saturday, in efforts to target unrealistic ideas of beauty and eating disorders.
Models operating in the fashion hub will be required to provide doctor's certificate to state their overall physical health and prove their body mass index (BMI) sits within a healthy range.
The index, a measure of weight in relation to height and age, will be compared to the World Health Organization's standards of underweight to decide whether a model is certified.
Marisol Touraine, French minister of social affairs and health, explained the new rules on Friday in a statement, saying that they were aimed at avoiding the promotion of inaccessible beauty ideals and preventing youth anorexia.
The previous version of the law, backed and adopted by French parliamentarians in late 2015, suggested a minimum BMI for models and up to six-month imprisonment for employers who violate it. However, it prompted protests from the country's fashion industry.
In addition, another law obliging magazines and advertisers to label digitally altered images will come into force on October 1.
According to the law, images where a model's appearance has been manipulated need to be labeled "photographie retouchee" (retouched photograph).

Happy Wine & Cheese Day mon ami! 
How many of these combos are good?
Ahah Merciii ! Happy Wine & Cheese Day to you too mon amie !
How many ? Hard to say since i don't drink wine ... But though, as a non-drinker, i totally enjoy the second one, Sauvignon blanc et le chèvre. I love le chèvre (i forgot to mention this one the last time ). But for all of them, i would add some bread too. Like a good pain de saigle or un petit pain aux figues !
And if i could , i would add some slices of Rosette
But to come to the principal question, i know many love red wine with cheese for dessert. But i don't like it, too much soor for my taste i would say. From my experience, many love le Cabernet Sauvignon, because le Rosé, is more used with the entrée, with a salad for example.
And you ? 
It doesn't matter as long as it's not red wine.
