Yet somehow she has perfect skin and a tiny waist...

Another friend in that group is a raw foods vegan who still has issues with acne and can't lose a pound to save her life.

Diet and environment are important, but they can't be the whole picture.
I totally agree. I also knew a friend with perfect skin,and get this; she never washed her face! I was told to wash mine AT LEAST twice a day by my dermatologist and here she gets to never wash her face yet her skin is perfect! grrr LOL
