^ You ask very good questions and you have a point. But Meyer has made up a lot of rules for her vampires. Like almost nothing can destroy them. That they can't even destroy themselves if they no longer wish to live. They can sit still, not moving for literally ages...but they are still able to move as quickly and strongly as young vampires on the move. She says that vampires can't starve...that they can go without blood indefinitely...but they'd be extremely thirsty. But they can go without drinking blood for ages...and they'd be just as strong as they ever were. Yet, in her books, Meyer says that vampires who recently drank blood, are slightly stronger. Those that drink human blood over animal blood are also slightly stronger...but not by much. As you can tell Meyer often contradicts herself. She did say that the vampires do not circulate their venom or the blood they ingest. Yet in the same interview, she said that the blood they drink goes into their veins and does what blood normally does. So, in order to take blood into their veins...it would HAVE to circulate some. So, it's difficult to COMPLETELY understand Twilight...many thinks have been said, then contradicted.
