Sofia Bush stands up to Urban Outfitters for selling a shirt that say Eat Less!

I have no idea how these shirts get past approval. Remember when JC Penny's had those shirts about girls not needing to study? I feel like common sense should tell you not to do this!

I do shop at Urban Outfitters and am confused sometimes with the fit of clothes. Some look gigantic on me and others wouldn't fit barbie dolls. I'm disappointed by this particular choice.

I love Sophia Bush. Also, avoid the comments. Comments after articles always reflect the worst in humanity.

Yeah, that shirt is a bad idea that doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

I'd have no problem with "eat healthier", "exercise more" or whatever.

But eat less? Nope. Wrong.

just heard on the radio that there's an all time high of girls 10-17 being hospitalised for eating disorders. Shirts like these are not okay. It's not the first time Urban Outfitters has been selling controversial products and I'm glad to say that I don't shop there.

I interpreted this shirt as a pro-anorexia slogan. As in not telling over weight girls to eat less but telling already under weight girls to eat less. Either way, not a positive message. I consider myself pretty sarcastic and typically find less popular, sometimes offensive humor funny. I did not find this funny. At. all.

That shirt is beyond distasteful, especially considering UO's target demographic I made the mistake of reading the comments too. That's a good way to put a damper on your evening. Need to go on a Netflix comedy watching binge now.
