The Intravenous Drip Diet: Making Models Super Skinny

Right on the heels of a particularly emaciated New York Fashion Week, The Daily Mail reports on a disturbing diet trend that, some might argue, is really just anorexia by another name: The Intravenous Drip Diet.

And how are the girls getting super skinny this year? The Lemonade Cleanse: over. The Cookie Diet: finished. The Cabbage Soup Diet: disgusting. Nowadays it's all about banana bags.

No, it's not the latest offering from Hermes or Mulberry - it's an IV drip containing multi-vitamins.

Designed as IV drips for alcoholic patients in hospitals (who are undernourished
from drinking more than they eat), this yellow-coloured liquid is being snapped up by those who opt out of eating in order to fit into their Kova & T Latex leggings.

I've never met a man who thinks rail-thin is attractive.

The fat person's version of this diet:

A banana bag filled with real bananas. You must squeeze it out, you will to taste

I'm going to come out of the closet here and now. I love plump women! Zaftig, voluptous, full figured, muffin-topped women. And I'm sad to see this banana drip thing.Our media present an image of "beauty" that does not reflect what we really look like, crams it down our throats, and makes women feel they have to be super skinny to be considered sexy.

Please check out the forums as they are filled with keen observations about fashion and true timeless beauty. (I'm not affiliated with the site, just a fan of it).

If it were only so simple.

Why does the google ad below this article read "1 rule of a flat stomach".

sad.

All the ads in that slot seem to be tied to the articles. Sometimes it's quite funny. But this story doesn't have an ounce of humour in it. Pun intended. Not a single frakkin ounce. The sooner these ladies bodies crumble, bones break and skins drapes itself round their ankle bones, the better. Then young girls might start of reassess the virtue of being thin.
