This article discusses a study in which fat was pumped directly into some lucky people's tummys. Just as I think of it, have you noticed how a doctor may be telling you the most serious, life altering news you've ever heard, and yet can't resist saying 'tummy' instead of abdomen, or stomach, or intestine? Keep an ear out for that.
Anyway, people who had fatty acids put directly into their stomachs were more resistant to 'efforts to induce sadness'. The evidence is far from conclusive, but who cares? Let's go and get some hot dogs and the recession is all forgotten about.
Except don't because one thing sure to make someone go flying right off the 'sadness scale' is a diagnosis of cancer and hot dogs are apparently as big a cancer risk as cigarettes. I know what you're thinking - "everything is supposed to give me cancer these days... What CAN I do?!". Well as far as I know eating fruit and veg and going for a jog isn't carcinogenic. Anyway, the research was conducted by some crackpot group of vegan doctors who are known to distort facts and figures so don't stress it if you were about to enjoy a dawg.
"May the dragon of life only roast your hot-dogs and never burn your buns.”
