I EAT, THEREFORE I AM FAT

And this week we have not one, but two pointless studies from the “No Shit, Sherlock” wing of scientific news. The first comes from research on obesity which revealed the astounding news that eating too much food makes you fat. “The main cause of the obesity epidemic in this country is the wide availability of high-caloric foods and the fact that we are eating way too many calories in the course of a day,” explained one brainiac. Meanwhile over in England two Oxford University scientists spent three years and $300,000 of the taxpayers’ money to discover that yes, ducks do enjoy splashing around in water.
