Recently I heard that Labrador retrievers tend to be more obese than other dogs. It seems a third of them have a faulty POMC gene that is missing some DNA. It makes them more food motivated. This gene is also present in humans. It is food for thought, pun intended.

The faulty gene loads the gun; the owner pulls the trigger...
