So this week a male model admitted that he…wait for it…it’s a shocker…DIETS.  Oh heavens!  The frank candor of such a man.  I know, I know.  It is all a little bit ridiculous but for some reason this has garnered headlines all over the blog world.  A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that this male model is brave(?) for admitting he struggles to meet model standards.  People are also saying, “Why can’t female models make the same admission?”  On one hand I can see why they think it would be a good example to young women that wish they could look like models - it would show them that it takes “work” to look so thin.  But I think it is a dangerous line.  It could also start a thought process of, “Well, my favorite model only eats once a day.  That is good enough for me too.”  It’s not realistic and it’s not healthy.

What do you think?
