It would seem that the greatest weapon our bodies have to
fight "obesity" is the ability to not keep everything that
we eat. One would therefore think that instead of trying to
inject a "hormone" that fools the brain into thinking it
has eaten, it would be easier to ensure that the body
simply rejects food that it doesn't need, before it gets
turned into fat.
Perhaps the study of nutrition will enable people to examine
the digestive system more closely to ensure that we do not
digest things that we do not need. It apparently already
happens (rejecting things we don't need), and I think it is a
major area of study that might be overlooked.
