What do we love about Vivienne Westwood? Her breathtaking designs [1] and the ability to make us swoon with every bridal gown [2] she creates. Something we're not so crazy about? Her advice. The designer, who's been petitioning against genetically modified foods in the UK, recently made a shocking comment regarding those who cannot afford to eat organic: "Eat less."

"You've got all these processed foods, which is the main reason that people are getting fat," she argued, according to The Independent [3]. "They're not actually good for you — they don't give you strength, they give you weight. I eat vegetables and fruit. I don't eat meat. I believe meat is bad for me. It's also bad for the animals. But if there was a movement to produce more organic food and less of the horrible food, then organic food would obviously be a good value price, wouldn't it?"

So, we've got to ask . . .
