While most Americans put on a few pounds for Thanksgiving, the federal government has been spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars researching why obese girls don’t have sex.
The National Institute for Health grant allocated $466,642 to the Magee-Women’s Research Institute to study the sexual habits of obese girls, including how often they have sex and why they are less likely to use protection when they do.
“Obese girls consistently report having fewer dating and sexual experiences, but more sexual risk behaviors [i.e., condom nonuse] once they are sexually active,” the study abstract states.
Money from the 2014 study will also be used to see how race plays into the sex life of girls.
“Finally, by exploring how relationship experiences differ among African American and White adolescent girls, our approach acknowledges that cultural differences in beauty norms exist and are important,” the abstract says.
The study will compare sexual relationships between obese girls and non-obese girls. A NIH grant spent about $170,000 on a similar study last year that examined how being lesbian or gay affects a person’s weight and health.
“Findings from the few studies examining weight disparities among adults suggest that lesbian women are more likely to be overweight or obese compared to their heterosexual peers, though less is known about gay men and bisexuals,” the study’s abstract states.

I didn’t know the sex habits of fat girls were of interest to the Feds.

This proves the NIH needs to be abolished entirely.

Another waste of tax dollars to learn what could have been learned by buying a round of beer for a couple men at the bar.

It would figure Democrats would have to spend almost a half million not theirs, but taxpayer dollars to find out something nobody really cares about, and is none of their business.

The last thing the rest of us need is a cure. This is exactly why our founding fathers wanted a limited government.

I didnt know the sex habits of fat girls were of interest to the Feds. Only to the extend they are getting from prophylactics and abortions from Obamacare.
