Taxpayers Spend $3.5 Million to Find Out Why Lesbians Are Fat.
That's right. Out of control big government is wasting taxpayer revenues investigating a topic that has nothing to do with anything to advance the general welfare of Americans. As humorous as I find this situation, it is more than ridiculous. It's really just symptomatic of how far our government has gone off the rails of reality.
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.
I'm not certain where these disparities rise to the level of high public health significance anymore than the fact that married couples live longer and healthier than singles. What is apparent is that government funded studies like this one are nothing more than professional welfare programs for those liberals conducting these kind of studies.
