Stupid Posh Spice. This time I'm not just saying it because she was in the Spice Girls. I'm also not saying it just because she has a better haircut than I do and she gets to have sex with David Beckham. This time I'm pissed off because she bought a diet book. I know that normally shouldn't matter. I've purchased several diet books, but I am not a size zero. Nor do I have a 23 inch waist.
Here's the thing. The Daily Mail has an article that reports that the paparazzi took a picture of Victoria Beckham buying a book called Skinny Bitch. Beckham, who has previously admitted that she has an eating disorder doesn't look to me like she needs to be dieting.
After the photo was published on the web, the vegan diet book's sales went through the roof. Now, I have no problem with vegans (unless they expect me to try to cook something for them) but I do have a problem with a diet book that berates the reader, who is obviously already feeling bad about herself.
What was I saying? Oh yeah, Posh Spice? Dieting? She has the waist of a seven year old! She is the mother of three! How are her children ever going to learn how to eat healthy. How is my daughter ever going to learn how to feel good about herself at a healthy weight if the people the media obsesses over continue to obsess over their own weight?
