Yale Study: Fat women are learning disabled when it comes to food

Obese women may have a "food learning impairment" that could explain their attitude to food, research from Yale School of Medicine suggests.
Tests on groups of obese and healthy-weight people found that the obese women performed worst when asked to remember a sequence of food picture cards.
quote:
Study author Ifat Levy, assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine, said the difference in the performance of the obese women compared with the other groups was "really striking" and "significant"
quote:
The results showed that obese women performed worst because they overestimated how often the pictures of food, including pretzels or chocolate, appeared.
Even after researchers had accounted for other factors, there was still a large difference in their learning performance.
Prof Levy said: "This is not a general learning impairment, as obese women had no problem learning when the reward was money rather than food.

If this is a step toward considering fatties mentally challenged so we aren't allowed to make of them, you can forget it.

How many gub'met subsidies went to the studies of why girls are fat? :gundy:
Also if any of you listened to Jim Rome today I think either Yale or Harvard just invented cake in a can, similar to cool whip in a spray can.
Fat gonna Fat.

Didn't need a study to prove this. I have a morbidly obese cousin who will argue with me about dieting.

I don't need Yale to tell me that women who are fat are also usually stupid.

Hot pockets and all forms of microwave nonsense the temperature of the sun did a lot of people in. It destoyed their palates.
That and fatty sugary fast food they were raised on distorted their ability to recognize good food from shite.
