Here's an interesting news. Researchers at some university in UK have shown that being fat or slim, diabetic or non-diabetic in adulthood can be modulated by adjusting your diet in infancy or probably while you are still in womb.

The researchers showed that pregnant rats fed with leptin-enriched foods (LEF) produced kids whowere lean in their adulthood. Also, infant rats fed with LEF showed a pre-disposition to being slim and trim. Thats cute, no?

The news is all the more relevant for me today because I have been forced to go to the gym now-a-days by my terrorist family members. "You have grown a double-chin, you glutton! And look at your tyres!!", roared my mom before picking me up by my collar and throwing me on a tread-mill 3km aay from my house.

The fact that I have grown fat, I can say now with confidence, was my mom's mistake and is my gluttony, over-eating and couch-potatoing is not responsible for it. She did not bring me up properly. She should have fed me with such leptin-rich foods in my infancy. I should probably go and tell her this...hope she allows me to rest peacefully at home...
