Giving the umpa lumpa an ethics award for lying is consistent with Obama and his Nobel peace prize for an election victory. The 21st century absurdity rolls on.

Dr Fauci gets an Ethics award?

It would be funny in other circumstances wouldn't it?

About a week ago I heard a Democrat politician (a congressman) on TV proudly praised president Joe Biden for his “moral clarity” in Biden’s foreign policy.

This is a good indicator of the absolute insanity present in the world today. Moral clarity is something this man has never even minutely possessed.

We need scientists to find out the cause of obesity? Seriously? Obviously there's a cause. Eating bloody too much!

It's not just that though, it's also what we're eating.

This is so simple that the share of population with obesity is increasing over time.

Calories In - Calories Out "explanation" is like telling a sport team that they need to score more goals than their opponents to win the game.

Indeed, it is not only insulin.

There is also leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, oxytocin (which help release fat from adipocytes), secretin and all other hormones related to hunger and fat storage.

There is also thyroid hormones (and cortisol/stress) which are known to influence weight.

There are exogenous toxins such as dioxins (or PUFA) which may make you store more fat.

There is inflammation which may tend to increase weight set point.

Reducing weight loss to an accounting law is not what would practically help people.

"Scientists claim to have found root cause of obesity for most people."... No [shit]syrup!!

So the root cause remains the same: eating crap! Another victory for "Science".

Sometimes, the greatest act of deceit isn't the commission of lies, but the omission of truth
