One thing struck me, though, as I watched the fictional characters run around the small Northwestern town of Forks. They were an amazingly diverse group of people. Asians, blacks, whites, and of course native americans (which actually makes sense) mingled freely and comfortably. But what was equally amazing is that apparently, everyone- literally EVERYONE- in the town was also skinny. I was impressed. I didn't think Americans looked like that. I thought, you know, we were a bit more diverse in the waistline.
And we wonder why two-thirds of college girls suffer from eating disorders...

Wow 2/3's? I knew it was high but hadn't a clue it was that high. I have yet to see Twilight, though I hear raving reviews. I also have not read the book, maybe soon.
That's the statistic I've heard....but you know what Mark Twain said about statistics: 'There are lies, damn and lies, and statistics'.
that's 'damn lies,' not 'damn and lies'
