A U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) study to understand why lesbians are fat has now cost taxpayers over $3.5 million to-date.
The study, “Sexual Orientation and Obesity: A Test of a Gendered Biopsychosocial Model,” seeks to determine why there is a disparity in the obesity rates between straight women and lesbian women and straight men and gay men.
According to the study, “It is now well-established that women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic, with nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians overweight or obese, compared to half of heterosexual women. In stark contrast, among men, heterosexual males have nearly double the risk of obesity compared to gay males.”
Apparently, “these disparities are of high public-health significance,” therefore, the National Institutes of Health has been continuously funding the project.

Since CNSNews.com first discovered the government’s funding of the study in 2013, the cost to taxpayers has increased from approximately $1.5 million to over $3.5 million.
A website with information pertaining to the project claims the study will continue until June 30, 2016.

My SWAG, ice cream over indulgence.

I'm as strenuously opposed to this kind of unconstitutional and wasteful government activity as any libertarian, BUT if science can make lesbians more beautiful, well . . . I see that as being in everyone's interest.

Lesbians aren't hot, bisexual girls are. Lesbians have no use for you or me.

[Ronin Truth]

Because they are built for comfort and not for speed?

What if I was a lesbian supporting Rand ? Do you think your comments would make me feel welcome ?

To be honest with ya, to each his or her own. I am one to allow all gays to live and enjoy their lives in peace. Just don't push their lifestyle on me or my kids.... that's all I ask.

[RJB]

I'm guessing because they don't care whether a guy finds them attractive or not.

Either that or too much ice cream as mentioned above.

[dannno]

Probably because men are more sexually aggressive and many women who gain weight do so subconsciously in order to avoid male sexual aggressiveness which has perhaps caused them some type of trauma in the past. Becoming lesbian is another way to largely avoid male sexual aggressiveness.

If you're a lesbian supporting Rand, you're a guy. The gals support Hillary.

You have a point. On the other hand, without humor, life would not be worth living. And so, sometimes, there are some bruises and bumps incurred in the name of humor. It's worth it. The solution is for everyone to not take themselves so seriously. But also have some concern for how our comments may cause harm.

Professional football players have no use for me either but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy and be inspired by watching them play.

Well... the obviously overlooked truth is that sleeping with men is good for your health ladies...

But seriously... Am I right to believe the hypothesis should be as follows:

Men are more visually aroused than women. Women are more likely to be attracted to things that help babies grow up than physical attractiveness. That makes people that want to sleep with men more likely to be concerned with their physical attractiveness.

Straight men get fat because women will still sleep with them. Lesbian women get fat because women will still sleep with them. Gay men and straight women stay skinny because men would want to sleep with them notably less.

Perhaps that's too politically incorrect. Perhaps the hypothesis should be sexism and homophobia... Yea... that's probably it.

Unless they snore and fart and burp loudly. And then there are the guy issues to consider.

In the context of his comment he says men are visually aroused and women are attracted to things that help babies grow up. I can't speak for lesbians, but arousal for me has never had anything to do with things that help babies grow up. Actually if you think about many mens obsession with boobs, I would say they are attracted to things that help babies grow up.

Good point!

Don't even want to know what you searched for to pull that up. That's agents at the front door $#@! right there.

[erowe1]

If you just turn the question around and ask why fat women have to resort to lesbianism, the study would cost less.
