Can someone explain how the phrase, "portion control", as defined here, is either "entirely original to Conservapedia, while others were further developed in an original manner by one or more editors here"? Portion control is a central tenet of many weight loss plans. In fact, googling the phrase comes up with an about.com article on how to implement portion control, a slide show from the Mayo Clinic on portion sizes, a guide from the Dept. of Health and Human Services on portion control, and those are just the first three. While "portion control" is definitely an important dieting concept, I'm not sure it qualifies as a Conservapedia term. --Jareddr 10:03, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
