Well, fair enough. I guess nutrition goes beyond the scope of the work, by
its own admission. Though I think in practice, people will eat more
nutritiously, because most of the bad stuff has a bad calorie/filling
ratio, and if you're very aware of calories you'll be looking for bulkier
stuff.


Yes. Although, at times I've considered a half gallon of ice cream for
breakfast, then calling it a day. ;-) This reminds me of certain
studies that are published like, "People Who Take a Daily Vitamin Show
to have Lower Blood Pressure." Well, duh. People who are taking
vitamins also tend to be concerned about nutrition and other aspects of
their lives.
