It's a bit surprising that the number of degrees burning your food will raise the temperature of water is related to weight gain. I find it more surprising that this simple relation has withstood the test of time.
- sokoloff 9y agoCan’t tell if sarcastic or not. Burning food to release chemically stored energy therein seems like it would correlate naturally to the chemical energy an organism could extract.
- daxfohl 9y agoNot at all sarcastic. I mean, we're told this process all the time so it seems like "duh", but if you really think about it there are lots of jumps and hand waving in that process.
