So ya will be big-boned as well ... like Cartman -evil But the virus is nothing new. Read about it a long while ago.
I would say they are just trying to get coverage to squeeze more funding for the research. Since it cannot account for people who become obese without the virus and people who, despite being infected by the virus, remain the same size/weight.
Hey, just yesterday I saw an item on 'Stupid Science' in which scientists proved with mice that if you live in a total bacteria free world you remain slim no matter how much you eat but the group of mice with bacteria got the same amount of food but they became obese. Unless you like to live in a bacteria free bubble there's hardly a chance for not putting on extra weight'. (if you eat a lot junk food and don't sport that is)
first time ive heard of it, it reminds me of one of Stephen Chow's movie, "i got aids from that seat" lol..anyways..pretty fascinating.
You know, I can't 'poo' in a strange toilet? Whenever I'm like on vacation, I can't poo for days -_- That really sucks... I can't even 'do it' at my bf's place weird huh?
i always lay sth over public toilet seats b4 using them.. its disgusting on its own.. w/o even the need to consider the spread of diseases..
