Kate Moss: Being Skinny Is Better Than Eating
Supermodel Kate Moss is making headlines for some super inappropriate comments recently. Here’s the thing she said that’s firing a lot of people up…
Kate Moss recently told Women’s Wear Daily that she lived by the slogan, “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” and now eating disorder groups are blasting her for the comments, which they fear will encourage disordered eating.
“Comments like this make it even more difficult for young people struggling with an eating disorder,” said Mary George, a representative of a British eating disorder charity called Beat. “She probably doesn’t realize how dangerous such comments can be.”
In fact, US Magazine pointed out that the exact thing that Kate said is a “slogan posted on many Web sites that encourage girls not to eat and pushes those with anorexia or bulimia over the edge.”
Fellow model Katie Green also said called Kate’s choice of words “shocking and irresponsible,” and I would have to agree. (Kate has a seven-year-old daughter, Lila Grace) All this, and she’s apparently writing a cookbook. Huh?
What do you think of Kate’s choice of words?
