maybe last Dr comment

Also, frankly, we don't know whether or not she _is_ trying to implement

CR lessons into her lifestyle. I know many people who, following our own

guidelines, have taken quite a while to pare down their

weight from a higher level to a lower one through a level of sane,

moderate restriction, so for all we know, she may be on The Path after

all.

Unfortunately, some people use food for comfort, depression, etc.

Someone with a weight problem has most likely not exercised the

consistent daily discipline to follow a restrictive diet of any

kind. If following a diet were like getting a haircut, once every

few weeks, probably everyone in the world would be a perfect

weight. The daily discipline is simply too much for some

people. But again, scholarship and dietary discipline are quite

different from each other. It's wonderful that Dr. has the

courage to lecture about something that is so important to society, in

spite of her own obvious shortcomings. I guess it would be similar

to lecturing about mountain climbing as a form of healthful exercise, but

the lecturer can't do that activity herself because she's afraid of

heights!

What Dr looks like is her own business. But when she

lectures about CR and its’ benefits, she’s the elephant in the room (no

pun intended).

Exactly. This definitely IS the more apt comparison. Elephant in the

room describes it well. If someone is smart enough to make a significant

contribution to the scientific community then surely he or she should be

smart enough to take advantage of that significant information

themselves. Not to do so certainly would raise questions concerning the

lecturer's confidence in the validity of the information that was being

presented.
