Former The O.C. star Rachel Bilson is sick of Hollywood's obsession with body image, insisting the craze places unhealthy pressure on young girls to lose weight.
The naturally petite star hates being asked about her diet and exercise regime and wishes there was more emphasis on eating healthily instead of dropping dress sizes.
She tells Britain's InStyle magazine, "You know what I hate? The amount of attention that is put on weight and body image. It is so backwards and sends out the wrong message. (I am asked) 'What do you eat? Do you work out?' It's not what young girls should be stressing about. They look up to these actresses and read about plastic surgery and what they do and don't eat.
"I eat, I love food, I wanna eat when I wanna eat. If you are not feeling good about yourself, then you work out. But you do it for you."
