Eat less, lose weight! Part II

Yesterday, we learned that Harvard has unlocked the secret to weight loss: eat less. Oh, and by the way, exercise helps too.

And the media is apparently starving for news, because they're gobbling it all up.

Check out the headlines from USA Today, U.S. News and World Report, Reuters, CNN, The Boston Herald, The Boston Globe, and yes, even The Gray Lady was shocked by the breaking news.

And readers were about as impressed as we were:

“Wow that's brilliant. Eat less, move more -- lose weight. How much did the taxpayers pay for this study?”

“It's absurd that this is newsworthy, but what's even more absurd is that we waste thousands upon thousands of dollars to ‘scientifically prove’ that eating less leads to weight loss.”

“Good Lord, my doctor told me that years ago. This is news.”

At least U.S. News and World Report tried to spice it up by introducing some doubt: “This might not be the end of the debate, however.”

But perhaps USA Today said it best: “Yes, it does seem like common sense…”

Ya think?
