Skinny Actresses Always Eating Muffins and Ice Cream

The latest way that media is making women feel inadequate

Actresses are under constant pressure to be skinny and a lot of them severely under-eat in order to meet expectations. Why then are some of them now playing women who eat in ways that are completely out of alignment with how they actually look? It’s just the latest way to make women feel inadequate by telling them that they should both look that thin and still be able to indulge in high-carb/high-calorie foods all the time.

I first started noticing this when my mom was living with us and we watched shows that she liked — ones that we might not have ordinarily picked for ourselves like The Good Witch and Madame Secretary. They appealed to her because there wasn’t too much violence or sex, and the stories were pretty interesting. After she died, we were so invested in Madame Secretary that we just kept watching. My husband and I both really enjoy it still, but we routinely comment on how much pastry, ice cream out of the tub, and other junk food Tea Leoni’s character downs on an ongoing basis. The same was true for The Good Witch actresses, including lead, Catherine Bell.

Stars like Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Thompson have spoken out about the pressure they’ve felt and witnessed to be unnaturally thin. Anorexia and other eating disorders are very common in Hollywood.

‘There’s so many kids, girls and boys now, and actresses who are very, very thin into their 30s, who simply don’t eat,’ she continued.
