Scientist suppress hunger hormone

Scientists at the John Hopkins University School of Medicine have been looking into suppressing levels of the “hunger hormone” ghrelin in pigs. They used a chemical vapor in the main vessel carrying blood to the top section, or fundus, of the stomach to make the breakthrough. In the study of pigs this procedure produced an effect similar to bariatric surgery by suppressing ghrelin levels and subsequently lowering appetite, the expert added. They used pigs because of their human-like anatomy and physiology. It was reported by his team memebers that efforts to safely and easily suppress grehlin had very limited success.

I think that this is not a good thing because its people own fault and they should be able to control their own obesity. Its all stupid , they should learn how to have self control when it comes to food. Scientist should not have to do reasearch on things that prevent people from "getting fat"
