A British clothing website called Zazzle was forced to remove a range of kids’ T-shirts screened with the slogan “Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels” because the Advertising Standards Authority deemed them “harmful to children.” Famous for being referenced by Kate Moss during an interview in 2009, the quote is said to promote eating disorders. “If you read any of the pro-anorexia websites, they go crazy for quotes like these,” said former model Katie Green, who helped launch the Say No To Size Zero campaign in England.
