Healt, Sweat, and Body Type

Jennifer Lawrence is striking a blow for healthy, sweaty women | Muireann Carey-Campbell | Comment is free | theguardian.com: "On Newsnight, speaking of playing Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games, Lawrence said that she refused to lose weight for roles, explaining: "We have the ability to control this image that young girls are going to be seeing. They see enough of this body that they will never be able to obtain and it's an amazing opportunity to rid ourselves of that in this industry."

Sure, it's silly that a body type should even need celebrity endorsement, but what Lawrence has done here is a pretty rare thing among her peers. Various female celebrities will trot out similar lines in what come across as weak Kumbaya moments, where womankind should all join hands and rejoice. Rarely though, do we ever hear high-profile women say they want to look healthy."
