Anti-Size 0 Campaign?

I logged into my Facebook a bit ago & the first thing on my feed was an article about a woman (size 12 US) that wanted to ban 0 and started an anti-size 0 campaign. To my surprise, a lot of people were loving it in the comments and there was so much skinny hate. I'm naturally a size 0 and I stand 5'1. I'm fit and healthy, but I'm feeling pretty hurt after reading the comments. What do you guys think about Anti-Size 0?

I find it to be pretty offensive because I'm naturally quite skinny too, and people seem to think that I'm unhealthy because of it even though I'm not.

I'm curvy, but I think it is hurtful to people that are naturally skinny. Y'all can't help it.

I'm a size 8-10 depending on the brand. It's offensive to both extremes..people that are heavy get hated on because of their size. Everything is very much aimed toward being extremely skinny...I battled 16 years w/my weight until I finally gave up.. to maintain myself @ 130 I lived off of air.. I started eating and gained the 20lbs that I had kept off for years. I learned to accept myself, love handles and all... I can really care less what anyone thinks. Unfortunately the media glamorizes these sick looking models.. You can be naturally skinny and be healthy...

I think that is ridiculous. People use to say anything over a size 8 is gross. Now that people are more excepting of fuller sized women they think they can say that skinny is gross. Skinny is not gross, curvy is not gross. They are equally beautiful and we should be celebrating our bodies together instead of being so cruel to each other. We know are own bodies and no one has the right to say anything about them.

I honestly think people need to stop being so sensitive. They're just opinions. You don't have to agree with them at all. But if someone feels strongly about a specific subject, they have every right to. Either way we all need to stop being so judgmental towards each other. Our sizes and body shapes DO NOT directly effect anyone else but ourselves. Be kind to one another!

Some people look unnaturally skinny and and just gross but I don't supports the anti-0 thing. If someone is naturally skinny that's fine but I don't like when girls starve themselves to try to be a size 0. I think curvy and skinny girls should be accepted for who they are and shouldn't have to change

Just because someone doesn't like it if someone is skinny, even if it is "unnatural", that person still has a right to be that size.

As a size 0 or 2 I also find it offensive. I do diet and exercise to maintain my size but I am naturally small. As some others have said, hating on being skinny is just as bad as hating on people who are larger.

I'm 5'0", 24-25" waist (depending on what time of the month it is haha) and I eat somewhat healthy but even when I didn't, I was still a size zero. Some people are NATURALLY unnaturally skinny looking ha. If the world went anti-size 0 I wouldn't be able to find jeans:D I'm curvy yet thin but I do wish I could gain weight sometimes! Like when bra shopping:( Haha.

Should I start an anti size 14 campaign for an arbitrary reason. This is disgusting.

Thank you! Things like this discourage eating disorders. Great campaign idea :-)

You can not judge a person by their size!! Not everyone who wears a size zero has an eating disorder or is unhealthy just like not everyone who is a size 18 is "lazy" or a "pig" or whatever stereotypes people throw out there.

It shouldn't be about anti-Cisero it should be about not making size 0 having to be the ideal. It shouldn't be about making Kirbee the ideal either. It should be about excepting everyone. I think those campaigns are little misguided if they have good intentions. They're trying to prevent girls from striving to be Cisero and starving themselves. I don't think they're trying to target people who are naturally size 0

There's always an anti size 14 campaign, its called life. I can understand why people are hurt but just as over eating is unhealthy, we need to spread the fact that over dieting is unhealthy. incase you people don't realize the reason why the anti size 0 campaign is a thing is because eating disorders are sort of really becoming a problem. instead of our beauty icons teaching us, and our younger generation that EVERY BODY TYPE IS BEAUTIFUL there is a constant barrage of how acess weight is absolutly disgusting and unforgivable. I'm not saying that every size zero is unhealthy. but neither should the media say every size 22 is.

I meant NT size 0 and Curvi not Kirby.

Also no offense but I think that there's a lot more obstacles and hatred in society for fat people rather then skinny people.

I'm very petite I eat anything I want and never gain a pound I'm a natural size zero I'm so sick of hearing things like this I don't make fun of anyone's size no matter what it is. I don't know why some people think its ok to judge anyone on their size and make them feel bad.

It's stupid. I'm naturally skinny and it's getting harder to find jeans cuz of the whole curvy movement.

They can say its to discourage eating disorders like anorexia but what about binge eating.

"fat and gross". you do realize that you are part of the problem.

Obesity is an issue, there's no doubt about that. But not every woman is naturally a size 0, and just because they aren't a size 0 doesn't mean that they are "a fatty" and are "mad at you" please.

There's just as much offensive stuff out there for skinny women as there is heavy women, and we have to deal with it in daily life too. I was offended by that picture that went around for a while with the quote "real men want curves, bones are for dogs". I love whe heavier women embrace their curves, that's great and curvy empowerment is wonderful as well, but I also believe that it can be done without dragging other women down. Some women say that skinny hate isn't as bad because "at least you're skinny" buy I deal with the discrimination every day. My friends, people at work "you need to eat" "someone needs to shove a steak down your throat" "I bet you eat like a bird" I've been accused of anorexia, bulimia what have you. Every body type, every skin color, every factor about anybody is made fun of by somebody. some just get more attention than others. personally, I don't let it bother me too awfully much, if I spent five minutes dwelling on everything anyone has had to say about me I really would be 'starving to death' I'm skinny, I'm healthy, I do me.

As with everything, people will always talk and whine and complain about something. It's life. I don't agree with it for many reasons but to sum it all up, people just need to mind their own business. It might sound rude but it's the truth. People are so concerned with what other people are doing instead of looking after themselves. I agree that we should all be informed of the dangers/consequences of eating disorders and obesity but an "anti-ANY SIZE" is straight up ignorant! Worry about your size and leave other people and their sizes alone. I have to agree that it is hard finding my size as is! (I am 128 lbs and 5'11. size 4 and curvy)
