Re: Calif. restaurant chains required to list calories

Folks carrying food scales per the diabetic 2PD-OMER Approach have no
need for calorie lists, which are meaningless anyway since the numbers
are factitious.

So the numbers are useless because they're "produced by man rather
than by natural forces" [Webster]?

The numbers are useless because listing them as constants make them
far removed from reality where the actual amount of food actually
served is highly variable. Everyone weighing their meals per the 2PD-
OMER Approach is aware of the latter fact.

The numbers are perfectly adequate for life in the real world.

If that were true, there would be no obesity epidemic.

Apparently you've lost the last vestiges of your scientific background
and medical training. It's common sense that the obese tend to be
those who ignore medical advice and calorie counting; some have
emotional or physical issues, but others have a lifetime of learning
to satisfy their hunger whenever the spirit moves them.

And if there were no numbers available, how would that decrease the
obesity rate? No person with a real life will pay any more attention
to the weight of his food intake (less, if he's supposed to actually
carry a scale around when he's eating away from home) than he is
currently paying to his calorie intake.

Simply shoving the resistance factor from calories to weight makes no
practical sense whatever.

Instead, non-2PD-OMER folks continue to suffer from the delusion that
eating low-calorie food will result in weight loss while they have no
awareness of how much they are eating.

Instead, non-2PD-O-folks have no delusions about weight loss; some
also have no interest in losing weight, but those who do care have
ample access to peer reviewed studies describing effective ways to
cope with the issue, almost always including appropriate exercise
regimes.
