I just read this article about researchers that use fattened monkeys to study human obesity. At 45 lbs, poor monkey Shiva is twice his normal weight and his belly hangs to the ground; he can eat whatever he wants and doesn’t get exercise. I understand animal testing for some things but to better understand obesity in humans? I’ve always thought it ridiculous that people (Americans) even struggle with an excess of food in the first place. Food as the enemy. How backwards is that, when millions are starving elsewhere? Just stop eating, people! Fruits and vegs = good. Mcds = bad. Not that hard to figure out.
