Kate Moss puts her foot in it again...

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.

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

The stupidity of celebrities never ceases to amaze me. Put aside the fact that what she said was incredibly flighty, how in the blue hell did Kate Moss not realise that these words were going to bring a media ****-storm down upon her? Kiss goodbye to a few contracts Moss.

Don't see the problem with her slogan. Far too many overweight people and it's all down to a basic fact (regardless of genetics) - They ate too much. Telling people to eat less in order to stay thin is not demonic. If people want to take it too far and not eat at all then they have issues with food as much as any obese individual.

Regardless of whether she was right or wrong in saying it, Moss is in this game long enough to know that if you give the media an inch and they'll take a mile. It was not media savvy of her at all.
