Penelope Cruz: ‘You Don’t Have to Be Thin to Be Pretty’

Penelope Cruz has a little quote for you (via Wonderwall):

“I would close down all those teenage magazines that encourage young
girls to diet. Who says that to be pretty you have to be thin?

“Some people look better thin and some don’t. There is almost a standard being created where only thin is acceptable. The influence of those magazines on girls as young as 13 is horrific.”

… says Penelope.

Who agrees with her?
