Are we finally on the cusp of celebrities being honest about their calorie consumption? Who knew that the first fired View host Debbie Manopoulus would be a counter-culture's "thinspiration" with her refreshingly honest response of "I don't eat" to the question "How do you stay so thin?" Does the fact that Vicky B exists on about 500 calories a day surprise anyone?! No, I didn't think so. Carry on.—Weetabix 2 CommentsLeave a comment |

she even looks hungry!
It's a pretty vicious cycle. Hollywood sets this ridiculous standard to which we all feel like we have to live up to. This standard becomes the norm that we expect our icons to match, and when they don’t we, the normal people, deride them for it. They make us feel like we’re not good enough, and in return we do the same. It’s awful. No one should be existing on a diet of 500 calories a day, not eating shouldn’t be the measure of job security. I really hope that comments like Julianne Moore’s and even James Marsters’ (www.kateharding.net/2008/01/18/qotd-5) will open up a realistic evaluation by industry as well as the public about what is “ideal.” A diet of 500 calories a day is an eating disorder, plain and simple, and anorexia is not an ideal anyone should aspire to.
