Well, yes - availability of high-calorie foods and labor-saving devices. EVen though participants stayed on the diet, so how "availability" of stuff they were not eating pertains is not even given any thought - ie, if heroin is available you are at risk of being addicted, even if you never use it? And labor-saving devices: I suppose the participants bought items like washing machines where before being in the study they washed by hand? <BR/> <BR/>The results were not quite as desired: instead of asking why, just throw out prejudiced statements about how you were destined to fail no matter what you did. <BR/> <BR/>Bah.John Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00801684602403824157noreply@blogger.com
