In science speak, this is named the optimal body mass hypothesis.

The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. Indeed, it often isn't even the best science: New drugs that show great promise in mice, for example, often confer zero benefit to humans, or even prove harmful. This is an important issue. We as a movement cannot compartamentalize.
