I agree. Not a big deal, as all kinds of dumb studies like this are done. I'm sure they have meaning in a larger picture among other studies...However lets cut spending on everything across the board before we start hacking into small university health-related research projects.
Yes, this kind of stuff pisses me off, but what really gets me raging is the state of Indiana giving money to our local school system, (which had to close an elementary school last year due to no funds to run it) to buy new Ford Flexs for the administration staff to drive.
