Mike It amazes me how many people completely misunderstand physics here. I assume you're referring to the law of conservation of energy. Did you know those laws only apply to closed systems? Did you ever stop to consider that a body is an open system? The law literally doesn't apply, and we see that, in how the body can choose to metabolize calories differently based on the belief it is "starving" or not (see the Biggest Loser studies). The truth is staring you in the face and yet people just want to say "tsk tsk, the obese are mental weaklings." Educate yourself.
