And here we go again.<\/p>\n

For reasons no one’s entirely sure about, Karl Lagerfeld keeps talking about women and their weight. And this time he’s gone so far as to say that anorexia isn’t a problem.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry to say that it’s a subject I consider ridiculous for several reasons,” he began. “The story with the anorexic girls — nobody works with anorexic girls, that’s nothing to do with fashion. People who have that have problems to do with family and things like that. There are less than 1% of anorexic girls, but there are more than 30% of girls in France — I don’t know about England — that are much, much overweight.”<\/p>\n

“And it is much more dangerous and very bad for the health,” he continued. “So I think today with the junk food in front of the TV it’s something dangerous for the health of the girl.”<\/p>\n

UGH, KARL, NO. Of course, it’s smart to eat healthy — but first, what’s his definition of “overweight?” Second, why does he think he understands — and can comment on — eating disorders?<\/p>\n

Either way, Mr. Lagerfeld seems to be making this a habit; it was only a few months ago he went on about Adele. Here’s hoping everyone who hears about this, understands that the Chanel designer has a lot to be educated about (and that what he’s saying is wrong).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
