I think I got the skinny gene. I’m REAL thin despite the fact I eat like a pig. =P

@ Thespian:

Not without a LOT more research. Even with the discovery that there’re specific genes that lead to a predisposition to skinniness or adiposity, we still don’t know the how, what happens “upstream”.

*WARNING*

Excessive exposure to the skinny gene may turn you into a zombie who enjoys the taste of human flesh. After being bitten by one of these zombies, bite victims often experience overexposure to the skinny gene as well.

So do we know if there’s a way to be able to recreate these effects in humans as well?

Thank you! Now could we make this knowledge mainstream really fast, so we skinny people don’t get the evil eye on the beach anymore because we’re obviously starving ourselves to death?
