Many Celebrities have been criticized for being too thin. Britney Murphy, Kate Moss and Calista Flockhart are all celebs that have taken a hit for their thin frames and been accused of contributing to image issues of young girls and an eating disorder epidemic among young girls. However, many of them claim that they have a naturally thin frame and can't help it. Is this all just a bunch of BS or is it the media picking scapegoats? The media and the public have bashed celebrities that are too thin and has revolted against this look with ad campaigns such as the Dove one. People have also boycotted fashion shows and labels that feature models at unhealthy weights. Is this a step in the right direction towards improving body image and encouraging a healthy one, or is it unnecessary ridicule against celebrities who have naturally thin frames? And who's responsibility is it to monitor the celebrities who portray a poor body image?

below is an website bashing celebrities who have become to thin.
