Fat, Stupid, And Happy

An Eastern-European co-worker of mine once said, "Nothing makes you fat, happy, and stupid than a plate of pierogi."

Apparently, according to rats, this might be true. This YahooNews article titled, "High-Fat Diet May Make You Stupid and Lazy" works very hard to attach the behavior of rats to humans - presumably to promote the Food-Nazis' goal of controling Americans' diets via shame.

I love the stereotyping of people these so-called liberals engage in. If you are fat, then you must eat wrong. If you eat wrong, you are stupid and lazy. Therefore the overweight are stupid and lazy. That's the sort of logic that leads to liberal fascism.

And it's the projection of rats' behavior to humans that is ever-so-charming. It's like these scientists have never heard the phrase, its the dose, not the poison.

Stuffing a rat like a fois-gras goose and assuming the results will be the same for humans is as absurd is having a rat ingest five pints of pure pesticide and claiming pesticides cause cancer. If that were true, all our (conventional) farmers would be dead by now.

If you decide to read this article about junk science, eat some junk food while doing it - just for the spiteful fun.
