Well, that may be. But a study that starves young men to the point where not that many days of fasting would probably kill them really can't be used to make the point. I really don't disagree with your general point--but it's doubtful that if you took as many men as there were in the Minnesota Study, but all of them with a bmi of 30 instead of at "normal" weight where they started--some of the before pictures look fairly skinny, by today's standard--and fed them that amount of food and gave them that amount of exercise, it's sort of doubtful that anybody would end up eating their hand.
