Fasting Is Not An Eating Disorder

So Ralph Lauren pulled a horrible photoshop job and fired some model with a ridiculous name and everybody's up in arms about it. Personally, I don't get it. Just because a standard of beauty is physically impossible to achieve doesn't mean women should stop trying.

Last time I checked, Dad created woman out of Adam's rib, not his love handle.

Rail thin fashion models have been criticized for years, but you can never be too skinny, that's like being too religious, too conservative, or too into guns. Simply not possible.

Take me. I once fasted and power-walked the desert for 40 days to drop a few pounds before the big crucifixion. Are you going to tell me I have a problem, an eating disorder? Look at the results. Images of me on the cross with my ribs and hip bones jutting out are practically worshipped. Do you really think a third of the world's population today would praise me like a god if I was sporting a Buddha belly up there? Hell no.

A wafer and a squirt of grape juice once a week is all you need to survive anyway. So quit trashing 87-lb. models whose bones are mostly dust. These wispy women aren't anorexic, they're just fasting.

Next time you feel the need to rag on the fashion world's standard of beauty, just remember, halos only come in size 0.
