Supermodel Kate Moss has stirred the protests of eating disorder activists by revealing her mantra “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.
Moss’s remarks have even angered fellow models along with women’s health experts in the UK. They believe her comment will foster eating disorders.
Moss, 35, said she had a lot of mottos in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily. She said: “There’s ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’ — that’s one of them.”
The phrase is reported to have been bandied about on pro-skinny websites but could have come from a legitimate weight reduction organisation.
Model Katie Green, who helped launch the Say No To Zero campaign four months ago, said:
“There are 1.1 million [people with] eating disorders in the UK alone — Kate Moss’s comments are likely to cause many more.”
TV personality Denise Van Outen, 35, said Moss was “talking out of her Size Zero backside”.
Denise added: “Having been in the industry for so long, she knows the impact her comment will have on vulnerable young women.”
