So Jack is on the couch flanked by Rachel and Angela and proudly asks, who here has 6% body fat, ladies?

I do.

The girls look impressed.

And then we cut to Topanga sitting on a nearby chair, eating a slice of pizza.

Okay.

By the way, why isn't one of the storylines, because it's another, honestly, I think it's such an important aspect of this conversation and dialogue around body image.

Why doesn't it start with Topanga walking in with a pizza going, guys, I got us all pizza.

And Jack going, oh, sorry, I can't eat pizza.

Oh, well.

you know, I, I can't eat any carbs, but carbs are where you get your energy.
