Fat Feminist Fitness Blog

In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Kate Moss Blasted for Saying Being Skinny Is Better Than Eating

After she told Women's Wear Daily that she lived by the slogan, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," the model, 35, has been attacked by eating disorder groups for her "dangerous" viewpoint.

"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."

It is true that words are powerful. Yet, the bottom line is women should look for role models in their life and focus less on fashion magazine role models.
