The law of thermodynamics?? How can a scientist think of a human body as if it was an incinerator, or a Diesel engine... She actually thinks that we pour fuel in to our body and it is being burned as if we are an internal combustion engine.. Can we eat 14,000 calories once a week, and it'll be the same as eating a bit every meal? according to her way of thinking is would, just like an engine, fill up the tank once a week... How STUPID!
this way of thinking basically ignores hormones, fat storage (how many engines do you know that store partially burnt fuel?)... How many engines do you know that use enzymes to breakup their fuel? When was the last time you food was burnt by an internal fire in your body (weel, some mexican food feels like it does).. 
How can she think of our body in terms of thermodynamics??
