Deowll, there are certain things that must be sacrosanct or else. This
statement above is one - it allows the believer to circumvent use of
maternal fat to support the growing child and protect our big fat brains
(that no other beastie has) so the body fat we do retain allows us to be
buoyant in water (which no other beastie needs). Changing this belief
would be like pulling the pillars of the temple down in the Samson and
Delilah story. Tsk,tsk.

Happy New Year anyway,

Jois
