But a chimpanzee isn't driving their SUV to the fast food place, ordering a super size meal, and then sitting on the couch for 4 hours.
Maybe at a zoo, they get a little less exercise trying to find food, but I'm sure the zoo keepers keep them on a regulated diet.
But I think that this is a good study that isn't obvious which side will be correct. If you have 100 people eat 2,000 calories of hamburgers and ice cream, and a different group of people eat 2,000 calories of fish, fruits and veggies, I would guess the second group would lose more weight. I could be wrong if the study proves it though.
