A study showing that female rats naturally eat more sweets than male rats:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/09/040924091410.htm

Any thoughts on this? Does it correlate with women of our species? If so, do you think its an adaptive mechanism designed to get more carbs for a fetus's growing brain?

Does this explain Feisty Mouse's penchant for ice cream?

i think it just explains why all the ladies on this board are so sweet....



*rubs the brown stuff off his nose*

bignick - nice one. :)

HHJH - I think my own ice cream obsession is a tangled tale of genetics, environment, family and regional cultural values, and the fact that ice cream is one of the best foods, ever.
Even more than steak. *gasp!*

...and the fact that ice cream is one of the best foods, ever.
This is the only justification necessary ;)

i dunno, I think my hubby and I are tied on that one. But I probably require more chocolate than him. Its a toss up, whether chocolate is better or ice cream is better. Double chocolate chunk ice cream with peanut butter, there you go.... They must make all chocolate with Splenda! TW

No ties in my family :) I can pound down a half gallon of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in one sitting if I'm not careful.

My wife on the other hand, likes a couple scoops of sherbet. :/ She's such an amateur :p

MMMMmmmmmmm Chocolate....

Its not a sweet!!!! Its a necessary part of all womens diets. We must consume alot ot get the important nutrients and vitamins that we need. We must have it!! No one can stop us!! Its our fuel source.

The only reason needed and if it is also CHOCOLATE.

got some mint chocolate in my freezer right now...not just the mint chocolate chip...but with a swirl of chocolate throughout...delicious

:waah: Want ice cream!


:fanboy: So gooood....

:whip1: Where are the ice cream minions when you need them?!?!

(Note to self : must first get minions.)

mmmmm....sweets :D

Icecream is good. Chocolate is lovely, dark chocolate is heaven. Some women prefer chocolate over.... well you can guess. :D

I crave sweets, my husband can do without them. It is definitely a hormonal thing.

BLASPHEMER!!!!

*faints*
Wake up! OUMoose! We've found steak-flavored ice cream! Now all creeds can live and eat in harmony.

MORE THAN STEAK?

I'm gonna have to pretend I don't even know you, Mouse!

problem easily solved....steak and ice cream dinners...


and there was much rejoicing.....

yeah...the ladies may have the ice cream...and I'll dig on some steak...must have A1 Tabasco.... :fanboy:

oh Puhleeeeeeease~!! I have perched next to you whilst you devoured your Ben & Jerrys~!!! And it wasn't Moooo flavored either~!!! *Pokes*

Now why do you want to go and ruin a steak like that?

Give me a nice 16oz porterhouse... prefferably rare enough that there's still blood coming out... :fanboy: Only way to eat beef. *nods*

Or, as I tell waiters, "knock off its horns, wipe its butt, and bring it to the table". :)

they don't make that flavor anymore, either...dirty, rotten sonsabitches...Apple Crumble...mmm...but I don't think beef flavored ice cream would be too appetizing...

don't think I could dig on a moozle that's still...well...mooing. :) ...got to be sufficiently dead for me to eat it.

I think what it is really saying is women are all Rats.

Wait... uh...

Mmmmmeeeergghhh?!?!?

Mmmmmeeeergghhh?!?!?
...I must use that the next time one of my professors asks a question I don't know the answer to....now...to learn how to pronounce it...

choosing to ignore all reference to moozles.. *harumphs*

I believe it is a noise that comes from deep within the person, and crescendos in an exclamation of...something.

I have made that sound on occasion.. generally my mouth is full .. of ice cream ;)

...I think I may have exclaimed that after slamming an appendage in a sliding glass door...

*gives you a look*
gee we've done our usual and gotten way off topic.. I say~!

Females eat more sweets eh.. Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh... not me~!

Oh My Gosh! I just found this thread - how could i have missed it - containing two of my favorite food groups!!! CHOCOLATE AND ICE CREAM!!!!

I am on South Beach right now and these two are virtually taboo!!!! But I am smart!!!! I have found low carb chocolate by russell stover and low carb ice cream (baskin robbins). Mint Chocolate Chip!!!! Oh Yes! I will not be defeated!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Now if they made a chocolate steak with ice cream on top that would be just perfect!! Puuurrrrffffeeecctttt!

Donna :ultracool

Mmmmmeeeergghhh?!?!?

I want to know where to get A1 tobasco. Tobasco on ice cream can be fun.....
