This is basically the equivalent of the "why does it matter what programming language you pick as long as it's Turing complete, which means you can do anything

This is basically the equivalent of the "why does it matter what programming language you pick as long as it's Turing complete, which means you can do anything with it" argument. Losing weight by eating a donut and starving yourself is like writing a web application in brainfuck.
- zbentley 8y agoNot at all. It's like saying "it doesn't matter what programming language you pick, the computer is still only going to execute the code you told it to". Neither the GP, nor the original root of this thread are proposing that food choices are automatic, obvious, or don't have bearing on your weight/happiness/whatever; they're saying that food quantities (in calories) are the primary determinant of how much you weigh. That's it. Narrow ruling, specific point; no "why don't you just"-ism or anything of the sort--or if it's there, I'm not seeing it.
