    I read some of this, but I'm not into it. Lots of stuff rehashed but this quote is kind of funny:
    If what happens in people mirrors what happens in animals, then the prevalence of soybean oil, corn oil and other polyunsaturated vegetable oils in today’s Western diet means your body is “dumping out a lot of these marijuana-like molecules into your brain,” explains Hibbeln, a nutritional neuroscientist. “You’re chronically a little bit stoned.”

    The first line is a huge IF to start with. Second, LOL at always being a bit stoned.
