Key points of a bill, "Draft law aimed at fighting incitement to extreme thinness or anorexia," passed Tuesday by the French lower house of parliament:
_ Up to $47,000 in fines and two years in prison for anyone found guilty of advertising products, objects or methods that could lead to "excessive thinness" and compromise users' health.
_ The same punishment inciting people to seek such extreme thinness by encouraging prolonged dietary restrictions that could expose them to the risk of death.
