Los Angeles:

‘Desperate Housewives’ star Teri Hatcher has slammed reports that she has an eating disorder and says she has a healthy life. An agency quoted her as saying: “To think that I would need to stop eating and be anorexic and sick to get a job is the wrong message to send to girls and women in our society and that really bugs me.

I am all about health and to me size is not what defines your health. It never crossed my mind that if I was thinner I would get more jobs.” The television actress sparked rumours when she appeared in photographs where she looked slimmer than normal.
