Good distinctions made by several here.
Weight loss does not necessarily equal consumption, at least in the short term. In the longer term, though, especially after a thaw, I think it is a fair approximation.
Maybe I should call it "weight loss", but then the Spam filters would eat our messages.
Consumption is an assumption?
