The federal government is spending nearly a half a million dollars to find out why obese teenage girls have a hard time getting dates.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $466,642 grant last week for the study, which will examine whether social skills have an impact on why obese girls have fewer dating experiences than their less obese counterparts.

teenage boys, at the most judgemental time periods in their life, dont want their friends to make fun of them for dating unattractive fatties, regardless of how "nice" they may be.

After they gather all the data, stats, evidence, etc.. and it turns out I was right, can I get $50K?

You're absolutely right. But the real question is who cares?

but studies are important. This particular study may in and of itself be a waste of time but the data collected may be used in other studies of consequence

The most amazing thing to me is that there are still people out there that want to give our government more tax dollars.
