Apparently (this is according to Beaut.ie in this post) Victoria Beckham was recently spotted reading a book, 'Skinny Bitch', a diet book. It would be difficult to express how much I loath the whole of premise of books like this. I have nothing against maintaining a sensible weight that makes you happier and healthier but the idea that one's goal in life should basically be to eradicate most real and meaningful pleasures in favour of being thin and wandering round so people can see you being thin is one I truly despise. I also happen to believe that food and the sharing it is much more than either pleasure or fuel which sends books like this one into the realms of the blasphemous, but that aside.
Anyway my point here is that while the extent to which I find philosophies like this truly odious is huge, Beaut.ie has picked out one quote that I found really quite charming, behold:
'Whenever you see the words “fat free” or “low fat” think: chemical shit storm.'
