Do you care that the girls on "90210" ditched their lunch trays without eating?
Without our cult-favorite TV shows, whatever would we talk about? We all know that people have been paying plenty of lip service to the new "90210" lately -- especially since last week's scandal-generating cafeteria scene. On the most recent episode, Shenae Grimes' and Jessica Stroup's characters ditched their lunch trays without sampling any of their food -- and a controversy erupted.
The scene shows the two girls sitting with heaping tray-fulls of burgers and fries. Though there is a significant amount of conversation, and the scene lasts a few minutes, the only time anyone actually eats any of the goodies is when a friend stops by the table for a little noshing. Then the trays go into the garbage, food untouched.
Critics says this scene was bad news for girls who might already be struggling with trying to look like the picture-perfect stars on TV. But do you think it's a big deal? This is a television show, after all. And we have no idea how many times the girls filmed this scene, or how many times they had to scarf down fries and burgers. Perhaps this final take was the best one, but unfortunately one where the actresses had eaten their fill and executed their scene brilliantly -- without muching.
You tell us: In a world where teens like you are already bombarded with images of super-skinny women in movies and in magazines, do you think it sets a bad example when actresses your age ditch their food rather than eating? Or do you think the controversy about this particular "90210" scene is much ado about nothing?
