I bet female models think that by swallowing their boyfriends' jizm they'd get their daily protein intake.

I wish people would stop using "size zero" as a catchall phrase for anorexia. There are perfectly normal, real women who wear that size.

Sure, anyone trying to be size zero obviously has issues, but not all of us are 6 ft tall or look like Nicole Richie, who I can tell you is much skinnier than my size zero self.I don't appreciate being grouped with these people. Everyone assumes if you're under 110 lbs, you must be anorexic. I have so many people tell me "oh you're so skinny." Thank you, I've looked in a mirror before.

Women starving themselves to be that thin is a scary phenomenon, but face it, some women are naturally skinny. I'm tired of people and their real women have curves stupidity. Real women come in all shapes and sizes, cutting skinny people down apparently just makes some people feel better.

Sorry JmBa, it's because the industry tells us that we aren't pretty unless we are all your size.

You are right though, the unfortunate side effect of the backlash is that girls/women who are naturally skinny get the "you need a sammich" speech.
