Supermodel Kate Moss, in a rare online interview this week, told readers that one of her mottos was “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”, the fallout was instant, vitriolic and damning.
Susan Ringwood, chief executive of Beat, an eating disorder charity, said Moss’s words were “potentially very dangerous” because they were strongly associated with pro-anorexia websites. “This phrase is often used as one of their 10 commandments or mantras. And it is young women between the age of 12-20 who are the most at risk from anorexia, which is unfortunately the same group that could be influenced by celebrity culture.”
