British model Kate Moss criticized

Eating disorder campaigners criticized British model Kate Moss on Thursday for saying she backed the motto "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," a slogan popular with pro-anorexia websites. Supermodel Kate Moss was accused of giving the wrong message to anorexics and teenage girls when she gave her backing for a slogan encouraging them not to eat. Interviewed by fashion industry website WWD about her favourite mottos, Moss said: "There's 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. That's one of them."Campaigners said Moss, 35, who has a seven-year-old daughter, risked creating eating disorders in girls and young womenKatie Green, a former underwear model who has launched a Say No To Size Zero campaign, blasted Moss's remarks as irresponsible."I think Kate Moss should really have thought before she spoke like most of us do before giving interviews," she said, quoted by the BBC, noting that the model has a seven-year-old daughter."Kate is a mother herself and how would parents with children suffering from eating disorders feel reading something like this. ''We are trying to get the government to put something in place to stamp out size zero models and comments like this aren't doing anything to help that."The fashion industry has been criticised for using so-called "size zero" models -- those who fit a US size zero -- particularly after the deaths of two South American women who had suffered from eating disorders.A report on the health of models in 2007 resulted in a ban on girls under 16 taking part in London Fashion.
