What would happen if they then found a 'cure' for fat. What would that mean? Im finally starting to accept myself and then bam. However, I have heard all this tripe before.

"Save the White Fat!" Seriously, there's a REASON why our bodies are programmed the way that they are. There's a REASON why brown fat is more prevalent in *growing infants* than adults. But nope, anything to make an extra nickel out of the pockets of the fat-fearing public. Sighz. Oh yeah, and I'm really fond of my brain, so I'm going to have to say NO to having it eaten away by brown fat.

And as facetious as that sounds, I believe it to be true. And it's the fat girls that are fucked up. Right. (Okay <i>that</i> was facetious. Downright sarcastic.)

Also, there have been tests on mice with drugs that affect receptors in the brain (supposedly to cure people of the fat) and they cause developmental brain damage in adolescent mice. It's as if to say that it's ok to be brain damaged because at least you'll be thin. This feels like really scary stuff to me. Very good point.

What if some of that genetic manipulation "leaks" into the brain, and messes with brain fat? Sounds like a losing proposition to me.
