How you define things (including calories) affects your perspective (& your reality distortion field)

My good friend Roman Rollnick sent this (even though he’s in the communications field he’s conspicuously not on the web, hence no hyperlink).

I laughed. Then I thought about the effects definitions have on us.

How we define things sets the parameters of our thinking. From whose fault it is that those extra pounds continue to cling to magical thinking to our reality distortion field (a term coined by Steve Jobs) we’re barraged by the effects of our worldview.

Language is powerful.

So is how we define the words we use to weave our world perspective.
