The Brain Has Good Taste

According to this article, the fat in foods like icecream and burgers goes straight to your head. Literally:
"What we've shown in this study is that someone's entire brain chemistry can change in a very short period of time. Our findings suggest that when you eat something high in fat, your brain gets "hit" with the fatty acids, and you become resistant to insulin and leptin," said lead researcher Deborah Clegg.
"Since you're not being told by the brain to stop eating, you overeat."
