The NIH is funding studies to determine why nearly three-quarters of adult lesbians are overweight or obese, compared to half of heterosexual women. (AP Photo)
(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance."
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., has received two grants administered by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to study the relationship between sexual orientation and obesity.

:D

Kids are supposedly being denied government-run day care. But, at least, we'll know why there are so many tubby lesbians.
Priorities, priorities!!

this money was granted before the sequester however, the NICHD said the future of the project is uncertain because of the sequester--automatic spending cuts that took effect on March 1.which is also why there is no white house tours but lets not let the facts confuse the stupid party :D :D :D

Whatever - those fat hairy cunty commies need to be pt'd until they turn straight.

You are lacking intelligence. It was before the sequester, it also is important as obesity in certain populations causes massive healthcare costs. Obesity if eradicated would wipe out the deficit quickly. Diabetes (type 2), CVD, KD, MSK stuff, huge money saved. This isn't going to answer that but understanding ideologies, attitudes in fat people can hopefully offset the behaviors down the road.

Very simple to these left wing lard asses - eat less move more.
Less carpet munching, less munching on grains and legumes, and more working out.
Ditch the sitting around Barnes n Noble and go ride a fucking bike or something.
Its not hard to figure out. But when someone is a liberal dope - everything is a collosal problem.
Just tell these stinky hippies to shut their fat mouthes and go for a hike or something.

The issue is why a study like this was ever granted money in the first place. If we spent our money on important shit then we would be able to cut the small % to spending that has happend without having to take away important shit.

EXACTLY!! But, why let THOSE facts interfere with Speak-N-Spell boy's cracked musings?
All the alleged doom and gloom that was to have happened, were the sequester not stopped. Yet, we ABSOLUTELY MUST KNOW why 3/4 of lesbos are chubby.

Since when do chubby lesbians trump tours to the White House?
Try getting a clue. Even in this economy, they're cheap.
-
these stupid studies have been going on for as long as i can remember
So, why not cut them and fund the White House tours, or (GASP!!) some of those other things that were supposed to vaporize, if the sequester were not stopped?

read the article first before posting the party of stupid one of rush's dumbbells :D :D :D :D :D

Well somebody as to study them. Shouldn't cost to much. Ive studied lesbos on xvideo on an almost daily basis and it hasn't cost me a penny.

I read the article, genius. Try answering the question.

I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you weren't looking at the fat ones.

How about these left wing queers just exercise more and STFU?
-
:D :D :D :D if you read the article you wouldn't have ask the question one of rush's dumbbells :D :D :D :D
Clueless, yet again, Speak-N-Spell boy.
By your own words, this study was stupid. So, one more time, why not take that money and spend it elsewhere (i.e. White House tours)?

Once again, Speak-N-Spell boy, you duck the question to cover your foolish behind. I already read the article. I know the ALLEGED reasons for this study.
This money is needed in other venues. Even YOU claimed this program was stupid. So why not use the money elsewhere? Try that on for size.
-
How about these crunchy munchy lezbos do mandatory PT on the WH lawn instead?

Supposedly, because they're poor, non-white, and lesbo (or some combination thereof)......the old victimization routine. They're more likely to be depressed, not as concerned with body images as their male homo counterparts. Hence, they drown their sorrows in Haagen-Dazs.

Ellen is a twig. She'd evaporate, if you had her doing that.

You miss again, Speak-N-Spell boy. Give it another shot. This program, BY YOUR ASSERTION, is stupid. So why not take the money and use it elsewhere?
-
i have to admit. i do want to know why there are so many fat lesbians. this one is ok by me.

I'm going to go on a limb and suggest you weren't looking at the fat ones.
Um....of course not. :'(

Simple - they have adopted the male role and feel like its ok to let themselves go - get a beer gut - etc.
Same for the men who adopt a twink role - always trying to look good.
Role reversal. ;D

You just saved tax payers millions. Thanks, buddy!

Um....of course not. :'(
Then, I'm afraid your research won't be very gratifying......at least not to the federal government.

he's just one of rush's dumbbells, again if he had read the title of the thread and the article that went with it he wouldn't have wrote this. hannity and rush informed :D :D :D :D the stupid party

It's really not that simple. Once money has been allocated for certain purposes, it's extremely difficult and sometimes just not possible to change it.
Even Obama can't usually seize funds and move them around to his liking (it's called impoundment).
There's always exceptions and someone more schooled in government allocations would have to explain the in's & out's.
Just to give you an idea of Washington infighting, we're still dealing with endless CR's. I think the last time the government actually passed all bills was the early 90's. So figure over 3 presidents or so they haven't truly been able to agree on how to appropriate funds for a very very long time.
Thus making last minute changes is very difficult.

:D
Yeah, if you look like that, you're pretty much stuck with being a lesbian, lol.

I see your point. But, this isn't necessarily a last-minute change. The sequester has been coming for nearly a year and a half. And given that Obama and his crew were wailing about the re-enactment of the plagues of Egypt hitting us, if it weren't stopped, you'd think they'd be able to put their "research" on large lesbos on the shelf for a while.

Speaking of a re-enactment of the plagues of Egypt...
Huge swarms of locusts are invading Israel
First locust swarms reach Israel, Jordan from Egypt
Israel’s Agriculture Ministry has set up a hot line for helping farmers manage the destruction wrought by swarms of sparrow sized locusts which Monday flew in from Egypt where a swarm of 30 million insects devastated crops.
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/06/article-2288908-187A0293000005DC-102_634x395.jpg)
Super swarm: More than one million locusts have crossed the border from Egypt to Israel
(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/06/article-2288908-18794DF6000005DC-838_634x400.jpg)
Crackdown: A man holds locusts as the swarm is tested on the Israeli border with Egypt
The locust alert comes ahead of the week long Passover festival, which begins on March 25.
It recounts the biblical story of the Israelite exodus from Egypt, during which, according to the Bible, a huge swarm of locusts was the eighth of 10 plagues God imposed on Egyptians to persuade Pharaoh to free the ancient Hebrews from slavery.
Pharaoh did not agree to let them go until after the 10th plague, the death of the first born in every Egyptian family.

Don'tcha love these little crybabies? They DEMAND the sequester, they FORBID any picking and choosing what can be cut, then they IMMEDIATELY start bitching what was cut! (White House tours). ::)
Hypocrisy flows thick among those GOPsters.

What the fuck you babbling bout.

Facts and common sense. I see that's why you couldn't comprehend it.

Ummmm.....I believe it was the Dems, complaining about the White House tours being halted (and using kids to whimper about it, to push their agenda).
Speaking of DEMANDING the sequester, who signed into law again and threatened to veto any attempts to stop it? And why did that guy REFUSE to direct where the cuts would hit, despite Congress giving him that authority?
-
What Dem started this thread?

What Dem started this thread?
What GOPsters were FORBIDDING any picking and choosing what can be cut?
The point you clearly missed, particularly by the guy who started this thread, was that the DEMS were complaining about the White House tours being cut (even though this has been coming for a while). Yet, somehow they can find cash to study why 3/4 of lesbians are chunky.

I guess you missed the part where the GOP tried to postpone the sequester and give Obama the power to choose the programs to cut with congressional approval and Obama said no?
Talk about hypocrisy: first giving the idea, then saying you don't want it to happen and gloom and doom and then denying the chance to postpone it and make your own cuts
-
Post again what programs they wanted to cut?

They were giving Obama free reign to cut whatever programs he wanted with congressional approval while at the same time postponing the sequester....Obama said no....

Indeed! Of course, when this absolutely vital study is undertaken, they'll probably conclude some emotional trauma having something to do with this ladies' weight issues.
Then again, a number women, who were molested/raped as kids, have had weight issues. Some of them probably turned lesbo. I wonder if this vaunted study will consider that.

The federal government is ready to pay people $45,900 to attend an annual snowmobile competition in Michigan for the next two years.
They're also ready to shell out $516,000 for scientists to develop an ecoATM that will give out cash in exchange for old cell phones and other electronics. And why not drop another $349,862 for a study that looks at the effects of meditation and self-reflection for math, science and engineering majors?
These are just a few of the 164 grants the National Science Foundation approved two weeks ago. Yet around the same time, the administration was warning that the sequester would cut into critical research on chronic diseases.
While some of the less critical grant ideas were scrapped as the NSF looked for ways to scale back and prioritize, the number of allegedly frivolous grants still in play is not sitting well with Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma.
The GOP senator has been on a campaign to call out what he sees as pockets of wasteful government spending. Since the sequestration took effect March 1, he's sent 11 letters to various department heads highlighting places where they can fiscally trim down.
In a letter to NSF director Subra Suresh, Coburn suggested cutting the grants above along with nine others, including a $515,468 grant used, in part, to study how a shrimp running on a treadmill responds to alterations in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.
"These may be interesting questions to ponder or explore, but just because each is currently being supported by NSF should not mean guaranteed future funding if new applications with greater merit or potential are submitted," Coburn wrote in his March 12 letter. "I appreciate your agency's commitment to continuing grants, but ensuring the most promising new research can be supported next year may require ending or reducing spending on lower priority grants now being funded. Robo-squirrel may have survived its encounters with the rattlesnake but it may have met its match in sequestration if we hope to provide support for more promising scientific projects."
"Robo-squirrel" has long been criticized by Coburn as a big government boondoggle. Researchers at San Diego State University used funds from a $325,000 grant provided by the government-bankrolled NSF to invent a robotic squirrel used for researchers. Coburn has used robo-squirrel as an example multiple times as a government program that needs to be cut.
NSF spokeswoman Dana Topousis told FoxNews.com Friday that they receive 40,000 to 50,000 proposals a year. Of those, 10,000 to 11,000 get funded. Topousis says decisions are based on two criteria – “intellectual merit” and the “broader impacts”, which addresses the benefits of the proposed study to society.
She also says Coburn shouldn’t get caught up with the quirky names of the projects but try to see beyond it. One of the most successful projects the NSF has had a hand in was one in 1996 called “BackRub,” a search engine research project by Stanford University students Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
“BackRub sounds ridiculous but if we didn’t take a chance on it things would be a lot different today,” she said.
In 1997, BackRub changed its name to Google.
Still, others argue that a few success stories don't make it ok for the NSF to spend taxpayer money. Shortly before the sequester took effect, the administration warned that up to 12,000 scientists and students could be impacted by the cuts due to reduced NSF research grants. The administration also warned about cutbacks at the National Institutes of Health, which "would delay progress on the prevention of debilitating chronic conditions ... and delay development of more effective treatments for common and rare diseases affecting millions of Americans."

Sign me up for the snowmobile contest. Michigan isn't that far away. I can donate a weekend for the next 2 yrs. :D
