We are all doomed people.... things go on in our heads we are unaware of and influence behaviour... so we are not as weak as we thought! 8)

"new research by Terry Davidson, director of American University's Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, indicates that diets that lead to obesity - diets high in saturated fat and refined sugar - may cause changes to the brains of obese people that in turn may fuel overconsumption of those same foods and make weight loss more challenging.

"It is a vicious cycle that may explain why obesity is so difficult to overcome," said Davidson, also a professor of psychology at AU.

First it was the mice now it seems they are not the only animals to live the life...

"Davidson and his team trained rats.... the rats were split into two groups: one group had unlimited access to the low-fat lab chow, while the other had unlimited access to high-energy (high-fat/calorie) food."
