Why do some women stand pigeon toed?
It’s so unladylike and childish looking!

god forbid one normal sized female mention that she allows herself to eat. then scum like you ridicule her for being fat.

I think thay’re just being ironic. I didn’t take it as an attack on her at all. In any case, she’s slimmer and more elegant than a big percentage of the american population, isn’t she?

It’s stupid pieces of shit assholes, like whatever retard wrote this article, that perpetuate womens insecurities with their bodies. I’d bet money that whichever man wrote this article has a fat, gross white belly himself. Why don’t you go to a gym instead of writing useless articles about normal, beautiful, healthy and talented women like America Ferrera. Oh my God, she’s a famous actress and NOT anorexia! Does that threaten your manhood? Instead, why don’t you go jerk off to some sickly, stupid anorexic girl you could never obtain.

Whoa! No need to get so worked up! Some people’s irony detector is definitely not working…
Hey, I agree with you, “Step into…”, that this girl is perfectly good looking, and I don’t think whoever wrote this article thinks otherwise either.

Come on now… that was pretty low level of irony IF it was meant to be ironic. it was stupid.

Have you people ever *read* this site before? Wow, someone needs to get their meds checked.

Sarcasm. Look it up.

How wrong is it that that last paragraph immediately made me think of Kelly Clarkson dressed up in a Big Bird suit?

It’s a case of the newbies not getting the sarcasm.

Well, now we have a war of words just like Don Imus. Who’s kidding now?

i love her. =D

I took it the way a few of you did (offensively) however I think it was just misworded and I don’t think that was the author’s intention. The author is a female, by the way. They name who posts the updates on the bottom, her name is Christina. So yes I think it is just a case of the “newbies not getting the sarcasm.”

wow, liz, did you create the website?
newbies? relax.

Im tired of fat girls saying cause their is alot of them its ok and they are tho only ones who ea. I eat almost 3000 calories a day love cooking im 120 pounds 5’7″. Thats a reeal body size 4 when im full. America is the fattest country for a reason your ‘normal” is gross.

I tried, like America, to “give” myself an eating disorder…..couldn’t do it. Can’t starve myself, like I’d like to. Headaches. Can’t take diet pills, either. Headaches. I tried to blame it on thyrod, like my mother. Not the case.
So it’s just a matter of going back to my change of eating habits & adding a little exercise…..dammit!

First, Wow, what does ‘newbie’ mean anyways, why would you be proud of spending a lot of your time reading useless celebrity gossip? Second, it’s funny how the title of this article changed after I posted my comment. Before that, the title was something about her being a fat cow. I know what sarcasm is, bitches I am one of the most sarcastic people you will ever meet. My point is, I am sick and tired of reading articles that either brutually dis healthy or normal sized women or criticize women for being anorexic! It is no wonder that 90% of people that have eating disorders are women. Did you know that dieters are 8 times more likely than non-dieters to develop an eating disorder? Also, a survey at Exeter Univ. found that girls 12-15 years old, listed appearance as their number one concern? Disturbing. 20% of people with serious eating disorders that do not get treatment, DIE. Since the author is a woman, she should have some compassion for the weight battles women endure instead of perpeutating ignorant cultural stereotypes. There is a fine line between sarcasm and ignorance. P.S. Sasha, I live in Canada, and I am not fat, just healthy and normal sized.

To Sarah,
Sweetie, Please don’t starve yourself, this actually slows down your metabolism in the long run and makes it more diffcult to lose weight in the future. Diet pills are generally a bad idea as well. Just be healthy and exercise, like you said. I bet you are beautiful just the way you are. Work on accepting yourself and being healthy, and don’t listen to the haters. PS. My name is not directed towards you, just the losers who dis women’s weight.

I think it’s pretty damn uncalled-for to imply that a woman who is beautiful, shapely, and well-dressed is a pig simply for admitting she doesn’t starve herself half to death to meet some BS ideal of beauty.

Anyone with eyes to see and a brain to process it can tell that America is not a fat girl, she is a normally sized woman in a wasteland populated by the dangerously and unattainably thin.

No wonder women in this country have the body-image problems they do. If you rip into someone like America, who is genuinely thin and beautiful, what must you secretly think of the rest of the benighted, fatassed, ugly species you have to share your planet with?

I’m no fan of my fellow man, but have no idea how you live with that level of disdain festering inside of you and still manage to look in the mirror without tearing yourself apart as well.

No matter how perfect you believe you are, you are utterly without class.

did you all read the same article i did? cause the one i read, they weren’t necessarily saying she was fat. just that, when someone says “it’s been four whole hours. feed me!” that DOES sound like something cookie monster would say before stuffing his face full of cookies. back before a cookie became a sometimes food. goddamn sesame street, bowing to political pressure. stay strong, oscar. the Street would be nothing without you.

OK, I am a girl who eats a LOT, and like sasha, I’m 5’6″ 117.

But Americans are too FAT … NOT too thin.
Apparently not enough of us have ‘body image problems’.
BTW, America is a cute girl, but if I were that big, I’d cut out all kinds of things and be in the gym constantly.
Calling someone that big ‘healthy’ or ‘normal’ just encourages all of the fat-asses who are nowhere near as cute or thin as America.

Wow, I’m really shocked to see how many people are pissed off by this post. I usually don’t full on laugh out loud at the posters besides J. Harvey and Lisa Timmons, but this was pretty damn hilarious. And I don’t think she meant it in a mean way at all. It’s a joke. If you want to get all pissed off about gossip sites saying inappropriate things, then I suggest you to Perez Hilton. You’ll have a lot more stuff there to get angry about.

To Step into reality, you useless jackoff……..
I swear, I’m not starving myself. That was a good 20 years ago when I “thought” I could do it. Also, I worked in pharmacy & sampled some diet pills. No workie.
I’m older, wiser & found my secret in cutting carbs. I eat lots of salads! It just sucks passing by Dunkin’ Donuts and not being able to stop.
I was just sharing my experience with the ups & downs of dieting.
Thank you for being so sweet!
xoxo

Why did she changed the post title? Because she realized her “sarcasm” was actually stupidity.
Americans ARE fat. America Ferrera is not.

holls? This is not a self-righteous thread. I’m glad you eat a LOT (which is what Calista Flockhart said when she was wasting away) and are 5’6″ and 117 lb. Cheers to you. But who the hell are you to call America “that big”? She’s not exactly on the same level as Jason Davis (Greasy Bear’s older brother). Yes, I think that many Americans are “fat,” but it’s not for us “skinny girls” (I’m 5’6″, 125, and a size 8 pants) to point fingers at. I think the problem is not with Americans being too “fat” but with people being too judgmental. So, the next time you wolf down your cheeseburger, thank your metabolism (which I suspect is great if you really do eat a LOT and weigh just 117 lbs) and keep your mouth shut. Calling America fat just makes you look mean.

you have got to be kidding. She is GORGEOUS!

Ok. Kudos to America for bucking the size-0 bobblehead trend. Love her, and I’m not posting to contribute to the debate over relative body size. I’m posting because I find it disturbing that she feels compelled to say she “doesn’t have what it takes” to be an anorexic.

Talk about internalizing a cultural ideal. I’m not criticizing the actress–she’s saying something that I hear frequently (and that I’ve said to myself more than once). It’s not criticism at all. I’m just wanting to remark on the irony here: even a woman who seems relatively comfortable in her own skin derides herself for not having the “willpower” of someone suffering from a (frequently fatal) disease.

Do we ever get to really feel good about ourselves?

Yes I think you should put down anyone whos bones arent showing through thier skin. After all we wouldnt want our children to be healthy where would all the money for drug companies go to . The politicians wouldnt be getting thier cut any more. Im just glad you can still go to jail for letting you pets get that thin. Its really funny that in one paragraph they say how fat someone is and in the same story they complain about how thin someone is. Is there really a happy medium in all of this

OKAY… FIRSTLY AMERICA FERRERA IS A STUPID, UNCARING, IGNORANT BITCH!!!!! How dare she make a comment like that about something she has no idea about!!!!!! When I saw this I got so angry that I was in tears. I myself have been suffering with anorexia for 3 years, and it’s so hard, itz a fucking incidious disease, it kills and it ruins lives. I really cannot believe that she said what she said. It is really the equivalent of “After 4 hours of having Cancer….” I mean c’mon?!!! how stupid can u b? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I REALLY WANT 2 SLAP HER…. AND 4 ALL THE STUPID PPL WHO R STICKING UP 4 HER – NEWSFLASH: U CAN’T BE ANOREXIC FOR 4 HOURS, DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!

U R ALL STUPID!!!!!!!!!! U HAV NO RIGHT 2 MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS UNLESS U SUFFER FROM ANOREXIA!!!!! AND I COULDNT CARELESS IF AMERICA WAS TALL, SHORT, FAT, THIN, PINK, PURPLE, MULTI-COLOURED OR OTHERWISE!!!!!! ITZ WHAT SHE SAID, PPL… SHE DOESNT KNOW NETHING ABOUT IT SO SHE SHOULD KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT, SAME GOES 4 NEONE ELSE WHO LIKES 2 INSULT PPL WHO R GOING THRU THE MOST PAINFUL THING KNOWN 2 HUMAN KIND, OK?!!!

How can someone just call themselves America when they want to invade America the country? It’s so Spanish of her! Why is the show called UGLY BETTY? It would infuriate people with that name?! FYI to that show’s scriptwriters: America is a country’s name, not a proper name for a person! Just like it’s inappropriate to use any currently known city name as your own personal “English” name! You’re turning America into an ugly country! We should not accommodate to these people until they really speak English and really can get a proper name! It’s rude to call someone UGLY!

Bryan, just fyi, America is the name of a CONTINENT, NOT a country. There are 2 Americas…North and South, and they include various different countries, not just the United States. And what do you mean by it’s so “Spanish” of her? Firstly, she didn’t pick her name. And second, if you meant Latin American when you said “Spanish” that’s your second huge mistake because someone being Spanish means they’re from Spain…meaning European. While I’m on that train of thought, naming someone America is like naming someone Austin – which I have, by the way, met people from the United States named Austin…it’s the name of a city, but it’s done. I’ve even met someone named Houston. And they weren’t foreign either, they were American. So why not?? And in case you haven’t heard America speak, she’s a fluent English speaker. Unlike you, who can’t even refer to hispanics properly. I’m proud to say I’m a Venezuelan immigrant to the United States, speak better English than most “real” Americans, and *gasp* kept my “Spanish” name. Maybe I’ll change my name to Canada for fun, though, who knows.

Isabel, “America” can also mean the country the United States of America as well as the continent. And Bryan’s post was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.

Not being funny, but where do you think the name America comes from? America the country was named after Amerigo Vespucci – they used the feminine of his name – ie, America – as it sounded better.

America the girls name existed before America the country. It’s like Spanish women called Mercedes – the named the car for the women, not the other way round!

People keep making this into an issue about what is healthy and what isn’t when I don’t think you guys even know what the hell you’re talking about.

‘Overweight’ is a term used for health risks (a weight beyond what is healthy for your body). There’s actually a consierable amount of room in between sizes before one is in danger of weight related problem. If you use the term ‘overweight’ for someone who is not the normal size you see on tv, then yes, she is – however, (and I can’t state this as fact because I don’t know everything about her body) she looks nowhere in the vicinity of a health risk.

So get your head out of your ass and just admit you’re not talking about health – you’re focused on what media has told you is beautiful.
