Double X provided an extensive exploration of a movement that is trying to appear more mainstream.
Studies Have Confirmed: Sugar, Models, and Clowns
Some health studies make headlines and they seem quite shocking and sad, like this one from CNN: Tweens Challenged by Grown-Up Malady: Breast Cancer. Others bring out my inner fourth grader, and my response to them is sophisticated "no duh." But stories are often more complicated than their headlines, and it is nice to have scientific studies confirm a few assumptions.
SNL News: Jenny Slate Swears Herself In, Darrell Hammond May Be Out
New cast member Jenny Slate went from virtual unknown to Internet phenomenon on her first-ever episode of Saturday Night Live over the weekend. She dropped a now infamous "F-Bomb" during a biker-chick sketch that had her saying "freaking" about 50 times — you can barely blame her, it's a pretty easy slip, especially for someone new to live TV. Blogs immediately jumped to Slate's defense, but apparently the alarm was unnecessary.
When Pigs Fly: Airline Travel and Swine Flu
With schools across the nation back in session, from universities to the elementary grades, swine flu cases are on the rise. This H1N1 virus spreads more quickly among children, teens, and young adults, but reported cases have been mild.

You Asked: My Husband Has Gotten Fat!
Dear Sugar,
I love my husband. He is everything I ever wanted in a man and more — about 25 pounds more. When we first met, he was very fit and athletic, but over time he's really put on the chunk.
You Asked: Is It Insulting to Get My Husband a Membership to a Gym?
Dear Fit,
Being healthy and physically fit is very important to me. I eat well, exercise four times a week, and enjoy running and practicing yoga. My husband on the other hand, is more into sitting on the couch watching TV.
