Another animal experiment I would not support as a US taxpayer. To be honest, I like science fiction and find the universe fascinating, but I do not support NASA funding. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine are calling attention to it. We are nowhere near that.

In science speak, this is named the optimal body mass hypothesis. For Coal T**s , resident birds were found to be slimmer than transients, which makes sense as they have better knowledge of the available resources and thus less volatility in their food supply (and of course slimmer birds are better at not being eaten themselves).
