Kate Moss in anorexia controversy
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.

Katie 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.

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 Week.
