‘You Did not Eat That’: Instagram names and shames ‘fake’ women 


A new Instagram account singles out thin women who pose with fatty food and labels them with the hashtag “You Did not Eat That,” according to the Daily Mail. 

This controversial Instagram account is managed anonymously and already has 96,576 followers. It uploads photos of skinny women posing with fattening food, names them and shames them with the phrase “You Did not Eat That."


The account claims that superthin women, including models and superstars, actually don’t eat the food they post. Rather, it’s a type of accessory to pose with. 

The anonymous creator started the project because she had had enough of people who just took pictures of food instead of eating it. She added that such actions were “so contrived.” She is not targeting these women but just “wants to see more honesty.” 


Although “You Did not Eat That” is famous and beloved and the creator claims she is not attacking people, experts worry that this label could encourage food stigmas such as liarexia. This eating disorder is “connected to feeling shame around food and it’s often sparked by fear of being challenged by other people.”
