And once again, a news story about medical research fails completely to mention, as anything more than a passing reference toward the end of the article, the possibility that correlation might not necessarily equal causation.
Sounds like Al Franken. Isn't that guy somewhat of a failure in both campaigning for public office and hosting talk radio shows?
Maybe it's a vicious cycle.....they forget when they ate last, and eat even more, getting fatter and forgetting even more!
Weird. I made the opposite theory (but later revised it) after visiting my great aunt numerous times at various hospitals, hospice centers, etc, and seeing all the old people. It seemed to me that fat people had more mental acuity than the skinny old people. After I thought about it, I realized that it was more likely that mental diseases were the cause of certain individuals becoming skinny. After all, before my great aunt died, she was down to 90 pounds or something (she's fairly short). Just 5 years ago she was probably 135 pounds.
