Sophia Bush has declared war on Urban Outfitters after they marketted a t-shirt with the words ‘Eat Less’ on the front.

The One Tree Hill actress, in an entry on her personal blog, called for them to issue an apology and make a donation to a charity for eating disorders, and said, “It’s like handing a suicidal person a loaded gun. You should know better.”

Sophia wrote, “To promote starvation? To promote anorexia, which leads to heart disease, bone density loss, and a slew of other health problems, not least of all psychological issues that NEVER go away? Shame on you. I will no longer be shopping at your stores. And I will encourage the tens of thousands of female supporters I have to do the same.” source.

Thank you Sophia Bush for being as upset over this as I am. I mentioned it among friends recently and it was said that “Well some people need to eat less.” and sure, that’s a valid opinion, but putting it on shirts is not the way to go about it. “Eat healthy.” maybe but “Eat less”? Especially at a store whose most frequent buyers are those exposed to enough social pressure to be thinner. I just think company execs should have seen this coming and not even made it in the first place. They can claim they had the best of intentions over it, but someone somewhere along the way should have realized how negatively it would be received by people.
