Age may be nothing but a number, but weight is another story especially when it is on a magazine cover.

On Allure's June issue cover, actress Zoe Saldana's gorgeous face and flowing locks appear next to this interesting caption, "115 pounds of grit and heartache," according to New York Magazine.

Almost immediately, news outlets outed the magazine for the unusual and offensive cover line. In a day and age where weight is such a sensitive issue, many felt it was a "stupid" and "unnecessary" message that erodes society's progress with thinking about women outside of numerical sizes and conventions.

"It says you need to be thin and strong," said Harvard Psychologist Hilary Levey Friedman to Yahoo's OMG about the line. "Just one isn't enough anymore. This only puts more demands on women and can lead to various types of disorded eating." The modeling industry still has a habit of listing women by the numbers, but most of popular culture including magazines had shunned away from that, she added.

Given that women face so much pressure to achieve this elusive idea of "mainstream attractiveness," Allure's summation of the Latina beauty is not helpful, according to The Frisky.

With such a thing to declare on the cover, will readers even look inside the magazine? If they do, Saldana opens up and offers up shock after shock including showcasing those 115 pounds in all its glory. And she even said this juicy quote: "I could end up with a women raising my children..that's how androgynous I am."

Jaw dropping and scandalous! What do you think?
