I’m sitting around on a Sunday afternoon, and I can’t stop laughing. Not even giggling. I am guffawing. Kate Moss is getting so much shit for what she said the other day, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” People are running around saying she’s supporting anorexia. Personally, when I read the quote, I didn’t interpret it this way AT ALL. Use your brain, and think about it.
When we think of crazy delicious food, for the most part, it’s usually not good for you. Like, my favorite food is crab rangoon, which is deep fried cream cheese and crab meat in a wonton wrapper. Sounds disgusting, but it’s EFFING DELICIOUS. However, I can’t even remember the last time I ate this delicious treat. Why? Because it absolutely wreaks havoc on your insides! Other yummy foods — movie popcorn, burgers, pizza, alfredo sauce, french fries, fried chicken, general tso’s chicken, ribs — all will help you pack on the pounds, quickly. So, do they taste good enough to be obese?? To me, not at all. If someone came up to me and was like, “Okay, so here’s the deal. We found this ingredient in pizza that is the number one cause of obesity in the country. If you NEVER eat pizza again, you will never get fat. But, if you eat pizza AT ALL, you’ll gain 10 lbs.” Am I going to eat pizza? Hells naw.
I interpreted Kate’s lovely quote as saying, “Yea so, vegetables aren’t as delicious as some foods, but it’s not clogging your arteries and causing you to gain significant amounts of weight.” However…er…I am going to give her the side eye for saying that because well, does Kate Moss even eat? Or does she just live on a diet of cocaine and cigs? Perhaps there wouldn’t be as much backlash if a healthy person had said that, rather than a coked out, under weight model. Still though…Kate, you’re on the right track. Right quote, wrong person. If more people thought like that, maybe the obesity rate in America would be less.
So to all of you enraged at Kate Moss? Fall back, put down the wings, eat a grilled chicken salad, and take a damn walk. It’ll do you good.
