Most recently, W Magazine was accused of altering Beyonce’s curves after a photo of a much slimmer Queen Bey was uploaded to their Instagram account on Monday.

Anorexia, a potentially life-threatening disorder, affects millions of men and women in the United States as a result of body image obsession. The condition is characterized by significant weight loss, depression, compulsive exercising and the fear of becoming overweight.

The altered photos were created in response to a Photoshop contest held on Freaking News whose prompt read:

“Let us help prevent anorexia from spreading among celebrities and politicians, by showing them what they would look like if they were anorexic. Hopefully if they see these anorexic pictures of themselves they’ll think twice before going anorexic.”
