Is Jennifer Hudson really a size zero?

I haven't met the girl, but I think it's a bad idea to advertise a "size 0".
The Weight Watchers people are definitely promoting anorexia.
Losing weight should not be aimed at reaching a dress size. 
It should be about finding a thinner and healthier "you".
In order for Jennifer Hudson to be a size 0, she would have to
undergo breast reduction surgery and change her bone structure.

We're out!
