HOPE 'N CHANGE: OBESITY VS. CO2

[R]researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) ... transplanted a fat-burning pathway used by bacteria and plants into mice. The genetic alterations enabled the animals to convert fat into carbon dioxide and remain lean while eating the equivalent of a fast-food diet.

Interesting. So we may soon be able to reduce obesity at the cost of increasing global warming. Rather a conundrum for the nanny-staters, eh?
