   And, so, a person who weighs 500 lbs and consumes 5000 calories per day   
   is no different than a 150 lb person who consumes 1500 calories per   
   day??  Per your analysis, as long as caloric intake does not change,   
   such is orthogonal to an individual's weight?!   
      
   In addition, why in the world would you take logarithms??  Do you know   
   what a logarithm even is??  When one has two datasets (or more) that are   
   orders of magnitude different than each other, than logarithms begin to   
   make sense.  Otherwise, it becomes impossible to plot such datasets.
