Mutant mice! The fat one was kind of cute (for a mouse).

But interesting article. Thanks for sharing!

That is really interesting Grim. I still feel like I can eat as much as I did before sometimes. Like I stretched my stomach or something. Very hard to mesh the brain with the stomach...

I was listening to a great podcast about a very slim mother who had a fecal transplant from her daughter who was overweight. It was funny, almost immediately the Mom packed on weight. Maybe in the future, they can figure how to change our Gut bacteria.
