Just a few days ago, the University of Dundee - my hometown - published the results of their investigation into the congenital nature of our tastes in food.It seems obese people may be the hapless victims of a genetic sweet tooth.
As I've said before, fat folks don't need another excuse for being fat, but there it is anyway.
That aside, what bloody use is this 'information' to anyone? Who benefits from confirmation that we are born with sweet or savoury tastes?
This comes hard on the heels of another Uni of Dundee study, that one bad-mouthing forward-facing pushchairs. They screw up your baby's social skills, it seems.
What is it with academics? Why do they enjoy studying subjects of no consequence? Fat people will still overeat and be fat, mothers will still buy traditional baby-buggies.
Maybe I'll apply for state funding, carry out my own probe - into the motivations of boffins who study utter crap.

Man, I want to get some walking-around money to conduct this kind of research, eh?
I would be curious to know if the research will spark some genetic testing for ways to "turn off" this gene so those who are predisposed to chocolate cake will be forced to find another reason why cake is so scrumptious and delectable to them. Who doesn't like cake?
The way I heard it, obesity is a pandemic, a plague, the incurable virus...
"Get me a dozen donuts cause this f*#%in' virus is killing me!"
I'm currently studying my own stomach-space/cake ratios.
So far I've managed to introduce eighteen Victoria sponges into my gastric acreage.
Blood pressure normal thus far, no asspipe distress at time of writing.
I'll publish results as they come in.
