The marshmallow experiment shows how fatties suck at everything. If you don't know what that is, a bunch of four-year-olds are given a marshmallow, and the experimenter leaves the kid alone in a room. The kid's told they can eat the marshmallow now, or they can wait until the experimenter comes back, and then they can have another. Essentially, it's an experiment in self-control. Who doesn't have self-control. Yep, fats. All the kids were studied as they grew up, and the ones with self-control, who didn't eat their marshmallow right away: *  Had lower BMI Scored higher on the SAT* Had higher salaries* Were less likely to abuse drugs* Had better relationships with their teachers and peers* Healthier teeth* Fewer STIs* Better job performance* Emotional stability*  Were more successful in college* Were less aggressive* Forgive me for that incredibly long list, but it shows people who lack a little thing called self-control, ie fats, are unsuccessful in just about every aspect in life.
