> but even lab animals are getting obese, despite never picking up the phone to order pizza

This is surprising to me. Do you have a link to a definitive study? Seems it would be easy to pinpoint what is going for lab animals since they have a controlled diet and environment




It's mentioned in the A Chemical Hunger series of blog posts, which were on Slate Star Codex at some point:

The paper is linked to and discussed a bit here:

https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/52923/have-lab-...

I had a quick look, and couldn't find any other papers or commentary confirming or refuting this.


this is great, thank you very much


i don't; i got the assertion from some slatestarcodex post iirc

please let me know if you find it or if i'm mistaken
