Surely energy going into and out of the body, which is the point of the "meme", is mutually exclusive with the body being a closed system.

Surely energy going into and out of the body, which is the point of the "meme", is mutually exclusive with the body being a closed system.
- omginternets 7y agoYes, that's very much my point! By extension, it excludes reasoning about weight loss in terms of conservation of mass/energy.
- partialrecall 7y agoI think you're missing the point of the "meme". The point of the meme is that human bodies are not closed systems, and that the way to regulate the state of the system is to regulate what goes into and out of the system (if bodies were closed systems, there wouldn't be inputs or outputs to regulate.)
