Kim Kardashian’s Lollipop

Spotted on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram account: a photo of the reality star posing with a diet lollipop. One that takes away your appetite, she claims in the caption. Our first reaction: this is SO stupid!

Many of her followers think so too. A lollipop with only 35 calories? Okay, fine, whatever. But most people take issue with the fact that it contains a substance that suppresses your hunger. The idea behind the lollipop is that whenever you’re hungry, you put one in your mouth. You’ll eat a lot less because of it, and then you’ll automatically lose weight.

Furious reactions

‘If your body tells you it’s hungry, shouldn’t you just eat?’, her followers write en masse beneath the photo. And also: ‘You’re setting a terrible example for other girls’, and ‘you can also simply have a slim and healthy body without starving yourself and ignoring your body when it’s hungry.’ Even her biggest fans, normally, write: ‘Most of your followers are young girls who look up to you, and then you’re basically saying that it’s okay not to eat, which is disgusting!’.
