A latest Reuters news story, “Brain scans of obese show hunger hormone at work”, at the link above, is now going to be my official excuse for always being on the “heavy” side. Love of red meats, chocolate, ice-cream, Pepsi-Cola, Pakistani mithais, and anything else that is supposedly bad for you but tastes great, is partly to blame. Lack of exercise is another.
Even owning exercise equipment did not work. It must be the machine designers’ fault. Over time I have bought enough exercise equipment. Fat good that did me. I even get physically tired just from trying to brush the dust off it.
But, no sweat. According to research, and who can argue with that (and why would I), we apparently have a gene that causes us to want to eat a lot. I am sure they will find the same gene is responsible for greed, gluttony, and tight jeans.
Laziness is surely blameable on a whole different set of genes. Thank God, it’s not been my fault all this time! I’m off to go buy a bigger size of jeans.
