Female hormones may be partly responsible for the increasing obesity rate among men, according to a new study.

Researchers from the University of Adelaide believe that exposure to estrogen may be fueling the male obesity epidemic. Experts explain that exposure to common substances found in affluent societies like soy products and plastics, which contain the female sex hormone, are making Western men fat.

The study compared Gross Domestic Product and obesity rates among men and women worldwide. While it was normal for women in developing countries to have significantly higher rates of obesity, the findings revealed little difference between sex and obesity in the western world.

"Hormonally driven weight gain occurs more significantly in females than in males, and this is very clear when we look at the rates of obesity in the developing world," researcher James Grantham said in a news release.

"However, in the Western world, such as in the United States, Europe and Australia, the rates of obesity between men and women are much closer. In some Western nations, male obesity is greater than female obesity," he added.

I will happily blame women for something I'm doing to myself.

"Exposure to estrogen is known to cause weight gain, primarily through thyroid inhibition and modulation of the hypothalamus. Soy products contain xenoestrogens, and we are concerned that in societies with a high dietary saturation of soy,

You can still love yourself some of dem dead bitches.
Dead girls don't say no. But the ones alive usually don't say no either, if you keep them busy while you're executing your intents and they also usually get along with it once you've started :D

Your point? Asians are all going to become shemales? Asia is responsible for fat 'mericans? We should get rid of sketchy chinese restaurants?

chinese restaurants best restaurants.
just pump some testosterone into the food to make it even. As far as I know female hormones are beaten up and then raped by male hormones.
That'll teach them!

Great idea. But women also eat food. I don't want chicks with dicks. Or beards.
How about not pumping hormones into anything?

Actually, hermaphrodite humans are very androgenous. (I actually made a poll about hermaphrodites a long time ago... It was awesome.)

I didn't know. What was the poll about?
About pros/cons on hermaphrodites and discussion on it. Acehart closed it and shot it down before everyone else reads about it. Awesome times. I think you can do a forum search on it. It's not deleted yet.

I think that they would likely have issues with generations receiving identical chromosome sets. Also how would the physical arrangement work? Side by side or one above the other? It seems uncomfortable.

Seems like so, but it's actually the opposite way around.

    I'll also probably need to set up a server at some point because these scans take up a huge amount of space. I'll worry about that when I have an office though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure Ghan could give you some solid advice on the Server stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that the latest IPhones and Samsungs have some of the best cameras out there.
  • jonas jonas:
    phone cameras are good for sending pics on whatsapp, but no good for macro photography
  • jonas jonas:
    I think you should buy a used macro lens, do you already have a system camera?
  • Varine Varine:
    No, I'm still looking into them and kind of leaning towards a Rebel T7 at the moment because it's pretty cheap and lenses seem pretty easy to come by. Used ones are only like 3-400 dollars, which is much cheaper than I was planning
  • jonas jonas:
    I can't really recommend you any specific lens or body due to lack of knowledge, but in my experience camera shops are very helpful, especially those that also sell used parts
  • Varine Varine:
    There's only one camera shop in my town and they seem to specialize in film, but I have time before I need it. I'm not in a rush so I'll keep researching them
  • jonas jonas:
    I think since you have such specific needs, you should find a way to give a try for different systems without having to commit to one
  • jonas jonas:
    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens

    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that

  • The Helper The Helper:
    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye

    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit

    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts
