Women who are more highly educated have a healthier average weight than those who are less educated, a comparison of data from several countries revealed. BUT! this does not mean that smart women are skinnier. In countries where the majority of the population is obese, women with more education weigh less, and in countries where the majority of the population is underweight, highly educated women weigh more. I think the most reasonable explanation for this is that education costs money, and women who have enough money to pay for education also have enough money to pay for 1) food, or 2) a gym membership.
