koberstein··on BodyKit – An API to the Human Body

I think the issue here is that we want to put our unique biological systems into a mathematical framework. The mind already has a way of knowing what the body needs, however, it doesn't provide a json feed. As a culture, I think we need to get more in touch with our inner selves instead of seeking the aid of an outside device.
