Remember, you're saying obese people are obese because they eat too much.

I'm saying obese people eat too much because they are nutritionally deficient.

I think that you think that I'm saying that obese people are not obese because they eat too much. I agree with you that obese people are eating too much.

However, my argument is the "why are they eating too much" argument. You have not touched on nor addressed any portion of my argument.

You are stuck in the "calories in calories out is the entire equation and everything else is irrelevant" portion of the argument, which is the ABCs of human nutrition.

I'm telling you that LMNOP is also part of the human nutrition alphabet and that it is an important portion of the conversation that is often overlooked.

Can you debate me on the topics I am mentioning, or are you still stuck in the ABCs?
