The only problem with this statement is that it is directly contradicted by
the hog experiment previously cited.

The two groups of hogs DID NOT DIFFER in fat-assedness, or in distribution
of fat-assedness.  BOTH groups had slim, svelte hogs and HFS hogs, and DCS
incidence within the groups was UNCORRELATED with fat-assedness.

If the HFS hogs in each group had gotten more DCS than the slim, svelte
hogs in each group, your claim that being a fat-ass was a predisposition
for DCS would have been supported.  Sorry.  The real world disagrees with
you.

The significant point of the experiment was that the treadmill conditioning
was NOT enough to affect the HFS quotient of the hogs in question.  They
were still HFS hogs, just in better cardiovascular conditioning.

The next experiment, taking a third group of hogs and training them up to
Arnold Schwarzenporker condition, then seeing what that does to DCS
susceptibility, has yet to be performed.
