As you can see from the number of comments on this subject there is a lot of confusion subject. We make things difficult by talking about bad foods, partitioning, healthy food, etc. People get fat from eating more calories than they burn.

What evidence do you have that too many calories dont result in weight gain? I bet you that if eat 5000 calories of "healthy" food and your daily requirement is 3000 you will gain weight, and if you eat 2000 calories of "bad" food you will

Even the 30+ million is not relevant, Facebook with already have all of those users. So they didn't buy any users, no revenue, no profit, just some technology which they much have been able to build themselves for a fraction of the price.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm the first, and yes I'm a bit skinny but we have all shapes and sizes in the pipeline. Michael for example was certainly not skinny when he started. More plans will be added over the next 10 days as people comple
