Skinny Gossip has been all over the news and internet recently for its cruel comments about model Kate Upton. Some of those comments are:

"Huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition – she looks like a squishy brick. Is this what American women are “striving” for now? The lazy, lardy look? Have we really gotten so fat in this country that Kate is the best we can aim for? Sorry, but: eww!"

They claim to be a site about promoting skinniness and health but in truth they are a Pro-Eating Disorder and Weight Bullying website disguised as a gossip column and healthy community and forum. However, until recently they had a link on there page called "Starvation tip of the Day." Some of those tips being as followed:

1) Be careful who you tell. It’s great to have online friends – in fact, I would encourage it – but unless you’re 100% positive that your friends or boyfriend will understand or help, DON’T TELL THEM. But, if you’re sure a friend or your boyfriend will be supportive (lucky!), ask them to help you stick to your plan and meet your goals. (12/23/08)

2) Learn to LOVE that empty feeling in your stomach. Trust me, you’ll feel disgusting when it starts filling up again. (12/24/08)

3) If you must eat, ONLY eat when people are watching you. All other calories are eaten in vain. (12/26/08)

4) Get your vitamins! Calcium and iron are super important; take a multi-vitamin everyday. (12/27/08)

5) Pay close attention to other girl’s bodies. Pick them apart – try to find faults even with the best bodies. Then apply these high standards to yourself. (12/28/08)

And as you can see from the dates under each tip this was going on for years.

I started this petition because currently the discount fashion site Ideeli.com and there company Ideeli inc. are sponsoring this page and they need to stop.

Skinny Gossip promotes nothing but self hate, body loathing, unrealistic ideas about size a weight, fat hate, bullying, and most importantly unhealthy diet and eating habits.

This site is not only detrimental to today's youth but to anyone who has ever felt uncomfortable with their body.

By sponsoring SkinnyGossip.com ideeli inc is promoting eating disorders, self hate and self harm as well as bullying.

By signing this petition you are asking Ideeli Inc, to pull it sponsorship of SkinnyGossip.com and to accept people of all shapes and sizes.

Thank you.
