[QUOTE="primmers, post: 189487, member: 31913"] There's is also the Tommy's funded research carried out by Prof Poston - mice born to obese mothers are more likely to become obese themselves. I've found this link [url=http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/biohealth/research/rhed/pis/lposton.html]http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/biohealth/ ... oston.html[/url] but can't find the one for a seminar I attended on one of the report write ups. That found that baby mice born to obese mother mice would put on more weight for the same amount of calories ingested as baby mice of normal weight mother mice, in other words they were pre-programmed for obesity. There was discussion at the time about how such a trait would be an evolutionary advantage in times of scarcity as the offspring of obese mothers would stand more chance of surviving than the offspring of slimmer mothers. It might also explain on survival rather than male ego grounds the noted habit of some primitive community chiefs to favour obese brides. [/QUOTE]
