Glamour magazine has been accused of promoting eating disorders with a twitter post and article about a Kendall Jenner ‘health tip’ which involves pink walls and suppressing appetite.
The U.S. youth magazine said Jenner had a room in her house painted a very specific shade of pink, called Baker-Miller, because it’s apparently ‘scientifically proven’ to suppress your appetite. The magazine called it a health tip.
Kendall’s Instagram post which sparked the conversation:
“There’s actually a funny story behind the color of my living room! I decided to paint it pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the “Human Condition” exhibition at a former hospital in LA,” Kendall wrote on her blog last week.
“They were telling me there’s a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the color choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only color scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite. I was like, “I NEED this color in my house!” I then found someone to paint the room and now I’m loving it!”

@glamourmag I don’t think promoting to suppress your appetite is a good message….
