A U.S. study by UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas has found that fat from certain foods such ice cream and burgers heads to the brain.
Once there, the fat molecules trigger the brain to send messages to the body's cells, warning them to ignore the appetite-suppressing signals from leptin and insulin, hormones involved in weight regulation — for up to three days.
If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

Another Bacon Cheeseburger?
Not that I eat them that much any more but it seems research has shown that foods high in saturated fats (beef, milk, cheese, etc.) actually tell the brain to ignore the "I'm satisfied" signals and keep eating. Probably another reason to stay away from the fatty foods. They don't specifically mention bacon or BBQ pork so I guess I'm good.
