Whitney, 5' 8" is something to be fine WITH! LOL!! You say that like its overweight or something. Those numbers sound good to me.

I think, as with anything else in the media, sensationalism is the order of the day here. Regardless of what some group or another may say on their website, the woman used a phrase within the context of the discussion. Has nothing to do with anorexia.

that's thin!

Oh good grief!!! These people need to get a freakin' grip. It's no worse than the old "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" thing. I'm fat and I wasn't offended.

It's a miracle any celebrity gives interviews anymore. Their words are twisted and taken out of context and stupid stuff like this happens.

*shakes head*

Wow. Although I understand the comment, Whitney's comment is great. Nothing tastes better than a freakin' piece of cake. My words: Chocolate, and at least one piece a day. I'm almost 5'8", weigh high 120's - same as I did as a senior in high school years ago, which ranks as "slim" at that height. Skinny is okay, if one does eat enough. But not the supermodel starvation look. There's nothing glamorous about that.

Maybe it's a good thing. Look at the average flock of highschool kids walking around today and about a third of them are allready carrying around weight that is gonna cut years off their lives. It did NOT used to be that way. I remember not long ago, one of my sons highschool age friends was looking through my wifes old yearbook. After about 15 minutes of looking at the pictures, he said "Hey, Where are all the fat kids?!?" True story.

I don't see a problem with her comment. Maybe if more people thought that way obesity wouldn't be killing so many people!!

I agree that to me it just sounds like a motto of motivation to stay in shape/lose weight. I read this tip in a magazine saying to cut out pictures of models or a bikini and post them all over your fridge so you think before you go in and grab a snack blankly and over indulge. We all also have different definitions of skinny, I think to most of us the word skinny has come to mean "our desired weight". one woman's skinny jeans will be another woman's fat jeans. To me I am skinny when I fit inside my size 4 jeans and yes it feels great to know you look good and feel happy with youself, and I am fat when I go up to size 6. Remember we all have different body types so sizes look different on other people as well. A woman who may wear a 6 now may look skinnier than me because perhaps she is taller. I am short and a lot of my weight tends to accumulate on my hips, butt, and thighs so I will look like I wear a bigger size. I also do not think it is right to attack women for being rail thin and assuming they are anorexic. I have a co-worker who is a size 00 and she is desperately trying to gain weight but just can't. She walks around eating burgers and coca colas while I eat salad and diet coke and our bodies look like we do the opposite. Every woman should just love her body for what it is ( I know that is a tall order to fill for some) and if there is something you can change to make you happier then do it, and learn to love and accept the things you can't change because there is no use crying and getting upset for something that just won't happen.

Oh for Heaven's sake! That phrase was used by a major diet company several years ago as a tagline for a series of TV ads (I think it was Weight Watchers but if not then someone equally prominent). It's a great line and something I say to myself to snap myself out of eating something I shouldn't. People really have to grow a thicker skin - I'm as PC as all get out but this was clearly not a "pro-annorexia" statment! We are creating a nation of crybabies!

Not all Americans want or can afford the Cocaine diet.

Perhaps these idiots need to hammer Weight Watchers too, because I've heard that same line on TV in advertisements. Or better yet, maybe they just need to get the f*ck over themselves and quit trying to use every opening to get their name in the news for free.

"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." Oh my God! She's a witch! She's a witch! Get the torches and pitchforks! You sensationalist rag! Until this tabloid mentality that has taken over the media, stops, society will continue to crawl deeper up the rectum of garbage and stupidity. There isn't anything left, that any person can say, that can't be misconstrued and contorted for the tabloid pages and I am sick to death of it. Oh, and I better mention, that, my opening was sarcasm and I don't really think that Kate is a witch. I mention this merely because there are people out there that just wouldn't get it and those numbers continue to grow.

The US military is in trouble because they can't find any recruits that are capable of passing the minimum requirements, and they are minimal, to get into basic training. The reason stated was that 70% of America's youth are too fat and too stupid to get in. This is one of the rare tidbits of reporting that I believe 100%.The media, the educational system and the entertainment aspects of society are so far in the toilet that we might as well just flush. Reality tv, video games, and the hip-hop culture are destroying the nation. The brains of America have been dumbed down in epidemic proportions. Parents are content to let Johnny stay in his room all day playing video games and not have him underfoot.

Media outlets, including major national news networks, have over whelmed us with mindless insignificant tripe in order to compete with rising stars of pure tabloid reporting. America would rather watch an inane contrived story about what some entertainment idol did in the bathroom every morning than a significant news story that could impact their and their children's lives. We have bottom of the barrel ghetto punks walking around with a pound of diamond encrusted gold around their necks because they got wealthy from degrading women publically, to a machine contrived beat, by stringing together swear words.

The point I am making, is leave Kate alone! Quit twisting every bloody word that comes out of known peoples' mouths to suit your trashy venue of trash!

Face it. Most magazines: Allure, Cosmo, Self, Playboy (to mention a few)....fashion and men's mags feature(photoshop) thin women. The media TELLING US whose attractive.....they all are focusing on thin women. If some skinny model made this comment and there was more variety of what we are SUPPOSED to think is attractive it would not be a big deal. Seriously look at these celebs and models, not posed,
airbrushed or altered. Are they really more attractive than anyone
else in the world? Think of these people unknow walking through the
mall, would everyone(or even anyone) stop dead in their tracks or
even take a second out of their day to admire them!? No. I'm afraid
too many people FOLLOW what the media is telling them is right or
attractive. If the obsession over celebs and models was somehow
overcome I believe people could just relax, base how they look and
who they are attracted to based on what THEY THINK not the world! I
am 5'4" thin and considered to be attractive and am happy with
myself, my best friend is 5'10" on the heavy side and considered to
be attractive and she too is happy with herself. As for the comment
the model made, SHE enjoys being thin over the enjoyment of certain
foods. If that what she needs to do to maintain the look she wants
thats fine. Bodybuilders deprive themselves of certain foods and
spend way too much time in the gym(in my opinion) to maintain the
look they want. That too is fine! I've always pointed out to my son
how the men and women in the public eye are no better than anyone
else. I realized this when I was around 16 and I believe it helped me
enjoy myself and life in general. I've taught my son the same thing.
It was great seeing my sons friends oohing and ahhing over the latest
"attractive women" . My son would state whether or not he believed she
was attractive. Most of the times he would feel they were not that special. His friends alway said he was too picky when it comes to girls.... he's picky because he's going by how he feels and not the rest of the world.
BE YOURSELF and TEACH YOUR KIDS THE SAME! THE PEOPLE IN MAGS ON T.V.
ARE JUST PEOPLE. Admire them for their talent(if they have any) The
worlds sexiest men, women!? Who cares what other people think!! Think
for yourself!

LOL Whitney! I like my curves...much more than I like denying myself a bit of pasta or cheese. My DH loves my curves as well and that's all that matters. I don't care what a has been like Kate moss thinks. Seriously, what is she most famous for recently? Being an addict.

Bottom line? I think we all need to be more secure in who we are as an individual and not care what other people say about us. Because in the long run it really doesn't matter what they say.

I agree with Kate. I'm skinny, and it tastes great! Nothing like it.

First of all, the author of this article needs to REVIEW & EDIT his/her grammar before posting it.

Secondly, Kate Moss is an ugly cocaine addict with no boobs and no tush, which makes her A WALKING VOID in my world so I could care less what she says. Her weight is her problem and she should worry about THAT before she comments on it.

She has a right to say what she thinks and phrases such as this can help those who want or need to loose weight stay focused on their goal. The reaction from Beat's representative just shows that people who are looking to be offended will always find someone to dump on.
