'Skinny' Website Calls Kate Upton Fat: So True or So Wrong?

When 20-year-old Kate Upton made her debut on the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue this year, men wanted her and women wanted to look like her. Well, except for the people at a website called Skinny Gossip. The "pro skinny" site has slammed the model for having “huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs." Find out what else the site had to say in the video below!



"Is this what American women are 'striving' for now? The lazy, lardy look? Have we really gotten so fat in this country that Kate is the best we can aim for? Sorry, but: eww! Fashion is supposed to be aspirational—and the kind of people who aspire to look like this shop for clothes at Wal-Mart. She looks like she would work in the back of a motorcycle shop in Nashville and give [a sexual favor] for $25."

Whoa! That's pretty harsh! And a big diss to Wal-Mart! According to Gothamist, Skinny Girl responded to the outrage with the following statement: "As a thin person, I was annoyed by our double-standards around weight. For example, people think nothing of telling a thin woman—to their face, in front of an entire group of people—how skinny they are and even to suggest what they should eat." She also says she's not pro-anorexia, even though she's been posting a "Starving Tip Of The Day" for years. Do you think "Skinny" should shut up? Or is she right about Kate Upton?

    Just because she isn't as chunky as some people doesn't mean that she isn't overweight. The way America is getting wider and rounder in every aspect is just sickening, I do not support eating disorders, instead I support healthy change. Take care of the body you have been given instead of being lazy and careless, everyone has the potential to be a healthy size.

    But she's NOT overweight. Her body carries the natural fat it needs to to be a woman, as in to be healthy enough to have a child be carried within her and to have regular and natural menstrual cycles along with the fact her skin is clear and her eyes bright and healthy. Sure, she could lose MORE weight but why should she when she's already quite slim enough?

    When would she be slim enough? When we can see her ribs? Her hip-bones? When her face becomes angular and narrow and the nice thin look of shadowed cheeks pops out at us?

    At that point a lot of sports magazines would deny her photo ops simply because it would no longer look natural and healthy,

    You do know that women are not meant to be built like boys, right? Once a women hits puberty, she produces more estrogen and the more estrogen a women produces results in bigger breasts, hips, thighs, bum, etc. "At puberty, a girl's sex hormones, mainly estrogen, will promote breast development and a wider pelvis tilted forward for child bearing, and until menopause a woman's estrogen levels will cause her body to store excess fat in the buttocks, hips and thighs,[15][16] but generally not around her waist, which will remain about the same size as it was before puberty." form Wiki.

    The thinner the women, the less estrogen she is producing. Women were made to carry some fat. I do not believe in fat acceptance and pro-fat, I am pro healthy and Kate is a healthy size.

    Kate is not overweight/chubby, I don't know any overweight/chubby people with a flat tummy. If you look up chubby, it means round and plump, she is not round and she is not plump, just fit. If she got any skinner, I think her ribs and hip bones would stick out.

    Does she have to look like this to not be "fat"?

    I feel with such sadness for people who post pictures like that one, You're standing up for larger women in media and yet you feel free to exploit pictures of woman that are obviously sick. Hypocrite.

    I stand up from healthy weight women. As I said, I am not pro-fat, Kate upton is far from fat/chubby. You also believe she is chubby, that is why I posted that picture. I was wondering, does kate have to be nothing but bones like the women in that picture to not be seen as fat/chubby?

    Agreed.

    I'll stop picking on skinny girls when they stop calling me lardass. I'm not even morbidly obese like a lot of Americans are.

    "Skinny girls" in general don't call you that, specific ones do. You have every right to be angry at them, but other people aren't responsible for their words and actions solely because they share the same body type.

    She doesn't look skinny. She doesn't have the frame to be skinny. She's thick, but surely not fat. She looks great and healthy!

    Kate Upton is fat, in pro-skinny (which is pro-ana) terms.

    Seriously, do you feel good attacking people with a mental illness? It's not like this is the typical attitude in America... the dominant attitude is fat acceptance, and even mainstream media images have women are are getting larger and larger.

    "big fat floppy boobs"
    lol what?
    The bigger the better.
    The natural, good ones, are made of fat, i don't know what yours are made of...
    Floppy... They're boobs... How do you want them to be?
    Boobs... Your -everything- has become invalid by stating the fact that she had boobs...

    Her thighs are relatively normal sized, her waist isn't the curviest, but she is drop dead gorgeous, and this is coming from a person that doesn't even fancy her!
