Are you Hangry?...

I hesitate to go after studies that have a ridiculous enough premise to start with, but after critiquing GWAS studies, they are all starting to sound a bit ridiculous and I think we have a bit of a slippery slope, where there is this idea that a gene can be found for just about anything you can conceive of.  Do you like raisins?  Maybe there's a gene for that.  Do you think elephants are simply beautiful?  Perhaps it's a gene that makes you think that...
So here is a real study that was done to determine whether there is a gene for getting "hangry."  What is hangry, you might ask?  Well, of course it is the propensity to get angry when you get hungry.  Get it?  Hangry...   Here is a link to it so that you don't think I'm making it up
