Sure, the lap band isn't a magic fix. It does take a lot of work. Maybe your friend didn't fully realize that. However, I don't think she's going to be any more successful if you tell her that she doesn't have enough "motivation and commitment" to lose weight every time she eats a brownie. It's not going to help her make…

Vsauce did a video on this, actually. I'll post back when I find it. ETA: found it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD08CuUi_Ek (starts at 10:56) A 200-lb human in outer space would eventually become about 120 pounds of freeze-dried jerky, totaling 115,000 calories. So if we dehydrated and freeze-dried your body, you'd be…

Okay, one more response... What if someone no longer has control of the muscles in their arm/hand, meaning they can't handle a gun or a weapon that they could use to kill themselves? What if they can't feed or medicate themselves, which would make it impossible for them to ingest poison or overdose? What if they are…

According to the New Oxford Annotated Bible (for college study), a more accurate translation is "thou shalt not murder," which does not forbid killing in war, capital punishment, euthanasia, or suicide. Just a fun fact.

Pretty much this.

What happens if you don't lose ten pounds in two weeks? Will you be fired from your job? Will your firstborn child be sacrificed?

His doctor, it seems, is relying solely on BMI and not, you know, actual physical evidence of health. Granted, I'm not a doctor, but I don't think your friend needs to worry about obesity.

This.

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin' me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers. Amen.

Step 1: Did I meet my protein goal today? If yes: Step 2: Did I meet my fat goal today? If yes: Step 3: Sweet, eat all the carbs. Assuming you don't have health-related dietary restrictions, you're only eating too many carbs if you're not getting adequate fat/protein as a result. The same goes for the other macronutrients.

I don't own a food scale (being a college student on a meal plan, it would be pretty difficult for me to use one), so I overestimate all of my portion sizes. If I think I'm eating a cup of cottage cheese, I log it as a cup and a half. If I'm eating a slice of pizza, I choose the database entry with the most calories. It…

Pear pie. It is unparalleled. Unpearalleled.

Trader Joe's sesame honey cashews. I could eat bags and bags of those. Also, chocolate covered coffee beans. And black licorice... how did I forget black licorice...

I don't like Miley, but I can't lie, the "We Did Stop (the government)" parody on SNL was wonderful. Personally, I think Miley comes across as irresponsible and immature, and I don't care for her music. Sure, everyone does dumb things at that age (I should know), but most of us are lucky enough to *not* be in a media…

... for science, of course.

Yeah, those fundamental laws of physics are inconsistent little devils, aren't they? Now, if you'd said that estimating the actual amount of energy you consume and expend is wildly more complex than simply reading nutritional info labels and plugging your height and weight into an online calculator, I'd agree with you. But…

^ Truth.

Eat more food? 1500 calories for a 21-year-old guy sounds really low.

Thank you so much. Bookmarked.

Yeah, fighting off polio naturally worked out really well for people. And kids who die from whooping cough just aren't fighting it off hard enough, I suppose? *eye roll*

If you can get a vaccine, you absolutely should. People who are immunocompromised or who have a legitimate reason for not getting vaccinated (such as being allergic to an ingredient) DEPEND on herd immunity. If you choose not to vaccinate yourself/your kids for stupid reasons like "but I heard it causes autism!" or "but I…

I have this on my dorm room wall right now: Yeah... I know, I need a life.

I'm most like someone from Liberia.

Kinda have to agree with DopeItUp, but I also want to point out that yes, women are often pretty good at taking kind words and twisting them into insults. Sometimes it's a reaction to hearing them, but other times, we've formulated those words to use against someone else. Not to stereotype our whole sex or anything, but…

When he finally appeared with Danny McBride, I was laughing so hard I thought I might cry. ETA: I read somewhere that they actually had to cut most of the footage they got of him because it was -- get this -- too extreme. Apparently there was a scene involving Danny throwing animal crackers into... you know what, I'll stop…
