Brings New Meaning to the term "Skinny Jeans"

First featured by the tabloid television show Al Rojo Vivo, a line of jeans in Medellín, Colombia is causing controversy. The jeans are called Anorexy jeans and 15 year old Anorexia survivor Catalina Puerta began a protest against the creators of the line claiming they make the eating disorder that claims at least 17 percent of young women in Medellín seem fashionable. The first lady of Medellín, Lucrecia Ramírez, has stepped forward calling for the name of the jeans to be changed. Originally the owner of the Anorexy line, Carlos Mario Zuluaga, at first said that he would not change the name of the line saying he chose the name not because of the eating disorder but because the name sounded good to him and said the jeans were made for all women sized 6-14. The company has since changed its position and the company will likely change its name.
