Yep. You refusing to accept it doesn't make the answer any less answered. That's how fucking science and logic work. Logic: a. Eating more calories than you burn makes you gain weight. b. You are overweight. c. By a and b, you eat more calories than you burn.    If you don't accept c, you must reject a or b. The only deniable one of the two is a (although most lardasses these days try to deny being fat), but seeing as how that premise is one of the base tenets of modern fucking physics (conservation of energy), they are literally claiming physics is broken.  Science: Seriously, if you don't accept that eating more calories than you burn makes you gain weight, the burden of proof is on you to show how everything we have today is possible without that assumption. If you can't provide a demonstrably falsifiable alternate hypothesis, you don't get a fucking say in the matter. It's something that a 3rd grade science project teaches you for fucks sake. Damn it, typing that out made me irrationally angry.
