By the look of these models, the poor tapeworm must be suffering from malnutrition

Seriously though. I suppose I could be described as a stick insect with anorexia I've been 6 1/2 st (91 lbs) since I was 16 years old, I'm 5ft zilch tall. I've had two healthy kids, both well over 8 lbs at birth and I've never been on a diet in my life. I eat good, healthy food usually home-cooked. I'm 50 now and still weigh the same as I did when I was 16. I suppose I'm one of life's naturally small people.

These ultra-skinny models are a bad example to young girls. No wonder we're starting to see girls as young as 8 with anorexia or some other eating disorder. To compound matters here in the UK, there is a drive to cut "obsesity" among children. What many of the people promoting this (doctors mainly) are forgetting that many children have "puppy fat" which disappears by the time they reach 16. I think there's far too much meddling with what people eat one way or the other and I think it's going to cause major problems for many people in a few years time. However, by saying that, too many youngsters sit infront of the TV or their games consoles instead of going out to play. Not healthy
