Just remember these people researched eggs and port too...the government studies have little science. Now the egg that was too bad for you is ‘the incredible edible egg’. And the pork that would kill you is now ‘the new white meat’....so how viable a study could this be?

They are overweight for the same known reasons other people are overweight. They eat too much and are not burning off as many calories as they intake. They eat because being overweight keeps people away. Particularly men. They overeat because they hate themselves and its self-punishment. They overeat because of daddy issues. They overeat because it’s comfort food and food doesn’t judge you. THey overeat because they have tied food together with love. They overeat for a whole host of already known reasons.

Well just damn! Those alternative lifestyles aren’t all they’re cracked up to be? Who knew? Glad this is “coming out” now, before it becomes completely approval-stamped by the feds, the mental health professionals and the cultural elites...aww too late.

Lesbians tend to be fatsos and therefore PROBABLY diabetic? I don't think so.

This study is MORE government $$WASTE$$ and possibly just a brainchild for a doctoral thesis.

*******************************
The NIH wasted a half million taxpayers’ dollars to figure out what has long been commonly known by sentient beings?

What’s next; a grant to study why homosexual men and druggies who use needles have an elevated risk of contracting AIDS?

Typical of “use it or lose it” budgeting practices. ..Spend what you were allowed or get less next year.
