Locusts May Provide The Key To Obesity

You know we are making real headway and are oh-so-close when we have narrowed down the "cure" for too fat to locusts.
"Locusts may appear to have little to do with Australia's obesity epidemic, but research into what drives the appetite of these pests is providing clues as to why so many humans may be overweight or obese.

According to research by Professor Stephen Simpson of the University of Sydney, locusts keep eating until they take in enough protein. And he says humans could be doing the same which may explain the obesity crisis.

'If you feed locusts a low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet they will gorge themselves until they reach their 'protein target'. So they over-eat carbohydrate and fat in an effort to get enough protein,' said Professor Simpson."
Walk for the cure - cancer; hop for the cure - too fat.
