I also think that the article should be rewritten. More importantly (regarding the quality of the article at least) it seems that this particular article is a bit contradictory. The first paragraph states that the body conserves fat resources by eating lean tissue and muscle, yet it states in the second paragraph that in order to conserve muscle and other tissues it consumes the fat reserves first. However I feel that we should just eliminate this whole section together and merge it with [[famine response]].

Most of the issues below were fixed by limiting the scope of the article. 75.92.165.67 (talk) 08:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Undue weight

The criticism section takes up 2/3rds of this article: this is certainly undue weight and needs to be rectified, preferably by expanding the rest of the article or recharacterizing this subject as a fringe hypothesis such as flat earth. Skomorokh 18:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, this article is about the same thing as the existing article famine response. Friday (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs to be rewritten

Whoever wrote this article is retarded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.196.203 (talk) 14:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
