Is it cold in here?:
Jeph said somewhere, maybe in a newspost, that people who are sensitive to such details should feel free to believe that the scar has faded and only shows when the light is at certain angles.
Why isn't Marigirl fatter? As far as we know she's all about junk food and a sedentary lifestyle.

Eh, true on the scar thing. I've got a nice one from where a chunk of flesh was literally ripped from my right leg. Only reason I know it's still there is because leg hair won't grow there.
Mari may just have a really good metabolism. I should know, my diet is hot pockets, Taco Bell, macaroni and cheese, Subway, etc. In other words, my diet would give a dietitian nightmares. The only real exercise I do anymore is the Air Force PT that I'm required to go to (and we really don't do much during it), and I'm actually 20 lbs or so under what I should be. Not all of us mostly sedentary types are fatties :-P
Dliessmgg:
It also depends on how much you eat. My stuff ranges between moderately healthy and not healthy at all and I don't do any sports, but I'm not a big eater and the last time I looked it up my BMI was below average.
akronnick:
Age is also a factor, folks seem to put on a few pounds when they get to they're late twenties.
Do we have a good indication of Marigold's age?

Some people have extraneous circumstances like metabolism or medical conditions. I ate 4 meals per day, about 2 pounds of mostly junk food, during my freshman year of college, all while very, very sedentary (other than maybe 6 trips/year that involved whitewater rafting or hiking) and spent that year going from 150 pounds to 135. I somehow got back up to 145, but then during the middle of my sophomore year my Crohn's became active and despite still eating 4 meals/day, now with Prednisone and 2 Boost shakes, I fell to 96 in 4 months. If not for surgery I'd still be that low if not dead of malnutrition.
