  1. @Weightology that assumption makes it difficult to use that study to 'prove' your argument. It is, so to speak, baked in.
  2. @Weightology "Energy flux was assumed to equal TEI and TEE because, on any given day, a population is virtually weight stable"
  3. @Weightology it's also purely post hoc.
  4. @Weightology chased down the Hall stuff. Modeling at the individual level is nice, but doesn't relate to the aggregate obese pandemic.
  5. RT @arneduncan: schools become hub for family activities=huge benefits for children. 2bad this is absent from chartershttp://t.co/rXm1aogz
  6. northdenvernews.com/content/view/2… @DianeRavitch Denver testing scandal spotlights reform fallacies
  7. The IQ gap between Blacks & Whites has been reduced by 0.33 standard deviations in recent years. via @DTWillingham danielwillingham.com/1/post/2012/05…
  8. RT @wired: How much water is there on Earth? Amazing graphic from USGS: on.doi.gov/JjtIFN via @boingboing
  9. @Weightology full agreement there. But our fragile consensus is not reflected by public health recommendations.
  10. @Weightology apparently not....
  11. @Weightology QED, then, If I understand you. Energy balance necessary, but not sufficient cause of chubbiness pandemic.
  12. @Weightology thus aggregate obesity (obesity pandemic) not solely due to energy balance?
  13. @Weightology and the factors that determine that are exogenous to energy balance?
  14. @Weightology 'asiposity' sheesh. Phone
  15. @Weightology so ceteris paribus, two individuals with the identical energy balance will have same net delta in gross asiposity?
  16. @Weightology last try before bed. Energy is conserved and maxwell satisified with every single chem reaction in bod?
  17. @Weightology interpretation bias and judgement are front and center. Not dispositive, but relevant. Not ad hominem. Critical consumer.
  18. @Weightology no, not really. Not to go on Derrida on you, but issues of inter subjective communication matter. & since we are dealing w/
  19. @Weightology yeah, seen that paper. Not on point, but very strong.
