Girl Guides are calling for warning symbols to be stamped on airbrushed pictures of models and actresses to curb a rise in eating disorders. More than 20,000 young women are expected to sign an online petition demanding the compulsory labelling system for adverts and magazines that allow consumers to recognise natural and altered shots. It will be available on the Girlguiding UK website for three months before being sent to David Cameron. A previous study found that girls feel pressure to grow up too quickly, leading to mental health problems, panic attacks and self-harming.
