Following on from the revelation that mice hold the key to the return of the lunchtime booze-up... erm... harmless beer and a sandwich... Guru notes that our whiskered mini-chums are now leading the way in research into why people are fat - essential reading for workplace managers everywhere, what with the increased wear and tear on furniture and fittings, not to mention the outsize furniture and fittings that will be required as the nation takes on US-style ugly-butt proportions.
It seems that, not content with forcing mice to drink gallons of wine, the freaks that shall forever be known only as 'boffins' have now been using mice to prove - and Yours Truly uses the term in a very loose cardigan sort of way - that people with fat mums will also be fat.
First the unfortunate mice get to drink loads and loads and loads, and now they get to eat... um... loads and loads and loads and loads. Hmmm. Yours Truly doesn't know about mice, but he certainly smells a rat.
However, Guru has to admit being slightly intrigued here, as his own mater and pater were both on the tubby side of being big-fat-pigs, and his own svelte lines seem to demonstrate the opposite. But then having spent the best part of his childhood eating through a small slot i a bag-hat probably had something to do with that.
But it really doesn't take over-funded - no doubt lardy - scientist in Texas to note that having fat parents might lead a child 'having a tendency' to become a fat person themselves.
After all, who's choosing the menu? New baby? Or fat mum?
What next? Top scientists 'discover' that a monkey has been running America?

Ah, Mr Guru, did you not know that the Americans like their Republican president's to look like monkey's? President Lincoln - he of 6'4" stature and very long arms was also noted for his simian looks. With the present one of course he also talks like one - bonus, eh!
