@erin what if, hypothetically, you were a leaf of iceberg lettuce. you have no nutritional value to speak of, okay, and you may dress yourself up any way you want, right, like maybe make yourself into a cobb salad, put like some russian dressing on yourself with cherry tomatoes, per se. but you are still a negative-calorie food. these are objective facts, alright, and facts don't care about your feelings.
