What if your co-worker requires 2x the willpower to overcome their genetic predispositions to consuming sweet food, but they only come up with 1.5x your willpower (and therefore fail)?
Are they still "lazy" even though they are trying way harder than you are?
While the human body is still ultimately governed by the laws of thermodynamics, it is an overly simplistic viewpoint by which to manage such a complex system.
Even speaking of only thermodynamics, don't forget that there is a second law: http://www.nutritionj.com/content/3/1/9 http://www.nutritionj.com/content/3/1/9 ... i.e. someone who prefers sugary things can store more energy than someone who prefers protein. Not all thermodynamic processes are created equal when it comes to the 2nd law.
