If you already have them in your body, you already paid the carbon footprint, thus one more reason to wear the snickers and walk instead of sitting at the wheel (and pay double the price for that trip).

This is one of the typical übergeek discussions that seem to move on a logical path but are indeed basically flawed.

Maybe they will lose weight and feel a little hungry - wow. I totally agree with your other point that the cup of milk doesn't need to come from the other side of the country, too.
