Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels

When an interviewer asked Kate Moss what mottos she uses in everyday life, she replied with the “controversial” statement: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", which caused a media tirade against the model.

The chick that made millions for being particularly androgynously skinny and starting the heroin chic trend is catching heat for this statement?

Skinny feels good, people. -Especially if it lets you roll around in millions of dollars. (AND if it enabled you the stardom to meet and date Johnny Depp, who I imagine feels really good.)

It’s her job to be skinny. She was made a millionaire for being skinny. But the minute she states the obvious. -That’s she’s fucking skinny. We are ready to burn her at the stake. The modeling industry calls for skinny girls and Moss is just doing her job. To help her remember that she was made one rich bitch for being thin, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” is the motto she tells herself.

Skinny does feel good. Industrialized nations are ridden with an obesity epidemic. Americans are lazy and fat with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. So, skinny feels really good in physical terms.

I adore Kate Moss. She is the fashion icon of the century. Photographers camp outside of her house just to take a photo of what she’s wearing for the day. She’s the rock star of the modeling world and says whatever she feels and in this case, whatever is the obvious truth. If you want to be a model like Kate Moss, you have to be skinny. Just like if I want to be an Olympic gold Track star, I need to run fast. Or if I want to be a mathematician, I better know how to add.

To be skinny, or thin, which is may be a less offensive term, is hard. It’s easy to sit around and eat whatever the fuck you want and to never work out, but it is unhealthy. That’s the truth. Is it healthy to be anorexic? No, it’s not either.

Did Moss suggest that everyone should be as thin as she? I don’t think so.

What is most important is to be comfortable with your own body. Blasting a supermodel for how she feels about her body is not the point. Blaming her for millions of teenage girls that aspire to be skinny like her is not the point. The problem with women (including teens) is lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance. Who the fuck cares what a skinny British model thinks about being skinny if you’ve accepted who you are.
