Kate Moss Has Felt Pressured to Be Thin, Abuse Cocaine, All Her Life
Pete Doherty has been doing it wrong for all these years

Kate Moss, the supermodel with a sordid history and a gold statue of herself on display in a British museum, has hit upon a novel idea and she wants to share it with the world. As it turns out, being a professional model is not the best diet plan in the world, "You go to a show and there's no food at all … I remember standing up in the bath one day and … I was so thin! I was never anorexic … I remember thinking, I don't want to be this skinny."

Not to knock the idea that fashion runways and the modeling industry create unrealistic body-image expectations for young women, but Kate is picking an interesting time (two weeks before New York's Fashion Week, which kicks off the global event) and place (Andy Warhol's magazine) to drop this truth bomb on the world.

Kate's clothing line Topshop is on the brink of a lucrative deal in China, and all of a sudden the formerly mum model gets all chatty with Vogue and Interview about eating disorders? If she really wanted to do something about the pressure models face about their body image, she'd put a sandwich where her mouth is and move up a cup size or two.
