Jennifer Garner is not fat for Pete's sake and other succulent nibbles around the skinny-sphere

• New York City has become the first major U.S. city to help us lose that gut and prevent heart disease by making trans fats a no-no ingredient in restaurant food. Eateries have until July 2007 to stop using any oils with trans-fats, and then by July 2008 to eliminate the pooch-making ingredient from its entire menu. No doubt we'll be healthier, and no doubt the food will get more expensive. [NY Times]

• Jennifer Garner is not pregnant or fat. She's just out of shape. Hollywood is so mean. Because she's looking thicker, critics assumed that Jennifer was preggers. Instead of appreciating her curves, Jennifer fell into that trap many of us do, she put herself down. Jen stated: "No, everyone calm down. Nobody's pregnant. I am as physically unfit as I've probably been in my whole life. It's such a horror in front of the mirror with no clothes on." Look at this woman. She's got a stunning body. She makes it sound like she's looking at Jabba the Hut. Jennifer, trust us, bash the critics and embrace your bodaciousness. [A Socialite's Life] pic from [PopSuar]

• About 59 of the nation's 250 children's hospitals have fast-food restaurants in them. So, isn't that almost like putting a bar in a Rehab facility? [AOL News]
