The `Hunger Games` actress hates the pressure in Hollywood for female stars to conform to an ideal of beauty and be a certain size and she refuses to be made to feel overweight for eating normally.
Jennifer ranted: "Oh god, yes, I`m so tied of the lollipops. I mean, if I looked like that I wouldn`t be tired of it, obviously, but it`s hilarious, the way I`m supposedly the overweight one.
"Like, they (the paparazzi) got me at the movies yesterday and the caption read something like, `Curvy star cannot wait to dig into a tub of popcorn`. I mean come on! I`m just a normal girl who likes to eat! At least they got me using me hands."
The 22-year-old blonde beauty takes the responsibility of playing teen idol Katniss Everdeen in `The Hunger Games` very seriously and wants to be a good role model to her fans, but admitted she has little in common with her tough on-screen alter-ego and is far from a natural leader in real life.
Jennifer told the UK edition of VOGUE magazine: "I guess people expect that of me, and if I had to kill something for survival, maybe I would and yeah, maybe I was a tomboy when I was growing up. But I`m definitely a girl now ... Of course, there`s a responsibility I`m aware of. In one sense, luckily, it comes naturally because I can`t stay out beyond midnight. I don`t really have an exciting life.
"But if you mean, am I natural leader? No. I just appear that way."
