Whine and cheese...

So apparently being as slim and tan as a Hollywood actress isn't natural. Chatting with an Italian woman yesterday (she spent a year studying at Northwestern and speaks perfect English), we learned that Italian sixth-graders, boys and girls, will have competitions to see who can eat the least. When pressed she added that "team bulimia" is an even bigger problem. It seems Latin America isn't the only place on Earth where eating disorders flourish. I'm almost ashamed of admiring how in shape everyone seemed, and I wonder why we can't just let it all go.
