are these facts related or not?

Harper’s Index for April 2006 (Harpers.org):

Percentage of U.S. adults in 1985 who said they found overweight people less attractive than others: 55

Percentage who said this last year: 24

Estimated number of Marshmallow Peeps that will be consumed around Easter this month: 800,000,000

Estimated number of pigs who died to make them: 125,000

I’ll argue the first three are: the last is just deplorable. I’m guessing the pigs are rendered for their gelatin: yuck.
