Ive just seen this article in the Sun and think its the perfect example of the minds set of models today It is a quite serious issue as she is such an in fluential model so really should have thought about this mantra being said as it is also seen on pro anorexia sites
KATE MOSS was last night accused of sabotaging the war on teen girls being driven to anorexia - by plugging a slogan encouraging them NOT to eat.
Campaigners against the cult of "Size Zero" were horrified as she was asked for her motto and the supermodel declared: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
The saying - trumpeted by the Brit beauty in a rare interview - is followed by millions of anorexics and bulimia sufferers worldwide.
Impact
Kate, 35 - idolised by impressionable youngsters for her waif-like figure - later tried to qualify her disturbing remark, saying: "You try and remember, but it never works."
But crusaders for a BAN on teen magazines carrying ads showing shockingly thin models were outraged.
Ex-Ultimo girl KATIE GREEN - who four months ago joined Lib Dem MP LEMBIT OPIK to launch Say No To Size Zero - fumed: "There are 1.1million eating disorders in the UK alone. Kate Moss's comments are likely to cause many more.
"If you read any of the pro-anorexia websites they go crazy for quotes like these."
Among those that use it is one called Starving For Control.
Katie, 22, a curvy Size 12 who claims she was branded TOO FAT by a top modelling agency, raged: "Millions of girls aspire to be like Kate Moss. These comments are shocking and irresponsible."
TV's DENISE VAN OUTEN stormed: "Kate Moss is talking out of her Size Zero backside."
The pregnant presenter, 35, insisted: "Having been in the industry for so long, she knows the impact her comment will have on vulnerable young women."
She warned women against starving themselves, vowing: "After I have my baby I'll lose weight through healthy eating and exercise. The sensible way."
Croydon-born Kate, who has been dogged by claims she is a coke-head, made her comments online as she was interviewed on fashion industry website WWD.
Chilling ... Size Zero model
Asked if she had any mottos, Kate - mum to seven-year-old LILA GRACE - replied: "There are loads.
"There's 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. That's one of them."
The phrase is believed to have been coined by some early WeightWatchers members - before being hijacked by websites pandering to girls who starve themselves.
Last night Kate was unavailable for comment.
SUN DOCTOR CAROL COOPER writes: This "motto" hits completely the wrong notes for people out there who will swallow everything Moss says.
She is no role model. She is a dire warning.
She may look good now, but in ten years she will be haggard, wrinkly and on the way to osteoporosis. Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2735440/Kate-Moss-reveals-her-life-motto-Nothing-tastes-as-good-as-skinny-feels.html#ixzz0XJNvPYyq
