Here we go again: almost all diet advice is wrong (again)

[Aeson]

It's an infrastructure thing. It's a bit more difficult to organise the act of building a massive rocket than it is to organise the act of eating fewer pies. Plus budget plays a part too.

Our nation (and perhaps your's, I don't pay attention to it much) has dramatically increased the number of rockets we launch recently (historical scale), but have not been able to reduce the number of pies eaten. As we live in a causal universe, we can thus conclude that your statement is demonstrably false about which change is easier to effect.

Horsie's dinner evening:

meat pie,

ham soup with ham hock

fresh sliced mango

milk

fat people want lurv but ain't getting it so they eat
smokers want a sense of accomplishment but they aren't getting it so they smoke (the nicotine other chemicals in cigarretes trigger the same chemical reaction that the brain triggers when you assume that you have completed something)
etc

Posting on Apolyton is just about hitting keys on a keyboard. (Ok, bad example for some of you )

Maintaining your car is only about how much gas you put in the tank and how often you drive it. AMIRITE?

No one is saying that being a healthy weight is the only thing you need to be healthy.

I'm not saying anyone is saying that. I'm saying pretending weight loss is about one single factor is ridiculous reductionism.

Of course. There's two factors.

You an also chop off body parts. That's even faster

It's great what rocket scientists achieve by ruthlessly eliminating excess weight.

[Alexander's Horse]

they should amputate astronauts then

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

There are many paths that can be taken to reach the utterly necessary process of burning more calories than you consume in order to lose weight. People simply eating less and moving more is just one. However I'd suggest it's also the best.

Did they count the amount of calories therockets ate and the amount of exercie they did?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I wonder when we'll ever see an obese astronaut.

[N35t0r]

Are you saying that being a pathological calorie-counter is required to be an astronaut?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I think that's optional. The agencies specify that they need to be a healthy weight and leave it up to the individual. So you could, for example, go "Mmmmmm! I think I'll eat one less pie tonight, but without going to the trouble of analysing its calorific content down to the nearest picojoule!" and it would still probably work.
