Issue: Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling objects to skinny culture/Seattle PI

More: Rowling has a bone to pick with the skinny models and celebrities whose “overpriced handbags and rat-sized dogs” grace the glossy pages of celebrity magazines. On her website, jkrowling.com, the author of the best-selling Harry Potter series criticized an article featuring a young woman whose thin frame indicated she is “either seriously ill or suffering from an eating disorder.”

Question: Is there anyone out there who’s comfortable with themselves despite being a coupla pounds to the bad?
