still doing spoiler spaces? Well.... I guess this isn't really a spoiler -
it's re: the weight issue...

My thoughts on the issue (as someone who is um... above their
"recommended" ideal weight... hehehe) is that JKR isn't being prejudiced,
but it *almost* sounds as if at some point in her life, she had a problem
with weight (obviously not anymore, by the pictures). Similarly, I agree
with Penny's husband in that she has some sort of love-affair with food -
which I think could probably be said about many people. :) Here's a food
related question... how is it that the students can eat so much food
(even when it's not "feast" time, there's TONS of food on the house
tables...) without becoming um... Dudleyesque in stature? Is it magic
food? Does it automatically sense how many calories you need for that
meal, then just zap away the excess? I mean, sure, the students climb a
lot of staircases, but they don't have phys. ed. - and their only sport
is played on broomstick. Just curious as to what you guys think about
this - I mean, I know it won't ever be directly answered in the books. ;)

Jen (who got into a fight with her husband yesterday because he accused
her of eating a granola bar when she didn't - can you tell she's a
little food-stressed?)
