Kate Upton responds to fat comments

Kate Upton is fat?

Kate Upton has finally responded to those "fat" comments. Upton is not fat; nor is she anorexic. Upton is what most people would call "just right." That didn't stop a pro-skinny website called Skinny Gossip from calling her a variety of unflattering names last week. The insults ranged from "fat" to "lardy," and "thick, vulgar, almost pornographic – and she is a solid 30 lbs too heavy ..." But wait, there's more. "Huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition – she looks like a squishy brick."



Now, Kate Upton has answered her critics, simply and honestly, "I'm not going to starve just to be thin. I want to enjoy life, and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable." According to the Sun, Kate Upton's spokesperson had this to say about the remarks that Upton is fat: “It’s absurd. Kate is gorgeous and very healthy.”

Since the Kate Upton post, and a poll on whether Upton is "fat, vulgar [and] repulsive," hit the Internet, various websites have referred to Skinny Gossip as a "pro-anorexia website." However, the site itself specifically states that it is not a "pro-ana" site. It claims, "This is a pro-skinny site," and it encourages anyone who is anorexic to seek help to get well.

Though they explicitly deny that term. They just want girls and women to know that there's no such thing as too skinny.

20 years old, best known for appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Also she may be dating Justin Verlander. As long as she doesn't mess up his pitching, I'm cool with that.

Side note....most models are too thin. Really, they are.

9. I agree with the critics -- she's hideous.

I, however, will accept her as she is and will lower myself to marry her. There's no need for her to go through life without a family because she's not as attractive as others.

11. There is a ridiculous amount of "skinny trolling" on the web.

I don't know who's behind this particular website, but I'm glad it's been brought to people's attention. We need to protect our daughters from this asshattery.

And those of you who might be interested get to see pictures of Kate Upton. Win-win, I guess.

But I'm attracted to women who look like they can easily carry a baby to term. Blame evolution.
