Skinny VS Curvy

Beth Ditto has something interesting and quite debatable to say:

“I’m not an unhealthy person and I feel like one of the most tiring parts of being fat and being proud of it is… you do a lot of proving yourself all the time.

“It’s really interesting to me that people will look at a thin person and go, ‘That’s a healthy person’. I want to go, ‘Come open my refrigerator and look and then let’s talk about what you think is so bad’.

“To be thin and to stay really thin, sometimes… some people literally do coke all the time. Some people smoke cigarettes instead of eating. That’s crazy. But that’s ‘okay’ because you look healthier.”

… says Beth.

Who agrees with her words? Who doesn’t?

Carrie Underwood has a bit of something to share with you:

“I’m a vegetarian because I love animals. I grew up on a farm and they were all my pets! So the thought of me or someone else eating my pets kind of freaked me out at a young age.
I’m the most normal person in the universe, but I’m very health conscious. I love working out. I love taking care of myself. We only have one body apiece and it’s going to expire sometime, and I’m going to make sure it’s a long, long time from now.”

… says Carrie.

Glee actress Lea Michele, who lost some weight recently and loves her Jewish nose, has something to share:

“I love being healthy. I get a lot of sleep. I’m a girl who eats. And I feel beautiful no matter how I look. I have my family to thank for that. I’ll have a big Italian dinner, and I don’t give a crap because it makes me happy.”

… says Lea in Glamour Magazine.

Let’s find out more from Huffington Post:

Michael Kors, Anna Wintour, Natalia Vodianova and Dr. David B. Herzog spoke about weight and age in the modeling industry on Monday night at Harvard Business School and WWD has even more details about the impassioned conversation. Wintour told the audience, “Each and every one of us needs to realize we are all responsible for models’ health,” and called on designers to reverse the “tyranny of [sample] clothes that just barely fit a 13-year-old on the edge of puberty.”

She also said that Vogue doesn’t Photoshop girls to make them look thinner, although it will edit out small imperfections. She noted that Vogue’s editors have “made a commitment to feature a wider variety of body types.”

What is thin beauty Miranda Kerr eating?

‘The first step is eating healthy. I predominantly eat organic when I can. I eat extremely healthy because when I do, I have more energy.

‘I love spinach, avocado, lots of greens and broccoli.’

‘I’m pretty much 80 percent healthy, 20 percent indulgent, because I don’t believe in depriving yourself. As soon as you step into the public eye you need to take responsibility for the people you are influencing.

‘Body image is something that the majority of young women struggle with and I do think it is important that models are seen to be healthy and at a weight that works for their body type.’

… says Miranda.
