Does anyone think The Veronicas have been looking a little thin lately? Well they’ve spoken up about it, insisting they don’t have eating disorders.

“Neither of us has any eating issues. People use the term anorexia too loosely,” Jess Origliasso told The Sunday Telegraph.

The size six sisters say they’ve always been thin, and feel it’s important to be positive role models for their fans.

“Anorexia is a disease of the mind, where people think they’re fat when they’re extremely thin. Neither of us has that disease and I think it’s a bit offensive when people throw that out there.”

I’ve got to say I sympathise with them. My sister was a size six and even special protein drinks wouldn’t make her put on weight. It wasn’t until she had a baby that she put on enough weight for people to stop making negative comments!

I can imagine being as busy as the Origliasso girls are must make it very difficult to pack on a few extra kilos. They’re thin, but I don’t think it’s unhealthily so. And we all know if they jumped up a few dress sizes they’d be slammed for that!
