"CUTENESS IS FATTENING!"
By Big Boned Rodents Consultancy Agent Charlotte, Federal Fat Foods Research Department, Rendville Ohio.
"I have been on this diet for daaaaaays already. Can't you tell?"

After investigating the void calories in gerbil-food, Charlotte has championed research into the cause of obesity in Western guinea-pigs. She concludes, “It’s the same old, same old. As always. Need I say more?”
We invited her to elaborate and she pulled out several graphs and pie charts to point at the sudden increase of weight excess incidence, to add, “Excuse the nails. They need clipping. But see here," and with a scratchy drag she follows a steep incline to a peak in the graph for today, where we read two in ten guinea-pigs have their bellys dragging over the floor.
Clearly our owners don’t understand our constitutions and focus only on the fuzzy enjoyment they can derive from our cuteness. It is killing us!
Of course, it is to our benefit that they want to feed us, and we will always be dependent on their choice of meal and snack for us; but this research remains valuable to mental health care, in that it dispells the myth that we were to blame ourselves for being too cute.
The leader of one Support Group is very clear: "we overwhelm our owners with our cuteness, and they don’t know how to cope with this in any way other than feeding us food. We must stop blaming ourselves for something that is innate and cannot be helped."
Psychological Issues
The number of psychological disorders have increased incremental to obesity issues. Charlotte explains: "Many feel anxious about being fattened up for festive purposes." Charlotte raises a meaningful eyebrow at this euphenism and we nod sympathetically. Who hasn't lost an relative, friend or relation touring in Tanzania or on a short break in the Andes?
She clears her throat and assures us, "This is not necessarily the case, but it is becoming ever more difficult to tell." She explains that it is becoming harder by the day to find the right therapy for OFBED (Obsessive Fear of Being Eat Disorder; No. 11.78, DSM-GPIII). It is her personal opinion that the traditional method of Gradual Exposure to one's obsessive compulsive root of fear is not effective, owing to the realistic cause for concern in Peru and in West AFrica, where farming for us for food is becoming very popular.
Learn About Lean Foods
In a more relaxed environment, where accommodation is pleasant and the attention is ample, the best way to cope with being at the fattening up end is by refusing all fatty snacks. "Educate yourself!" Charlotte urges. She recomends you refuse fattening foods and stick to cucumber, hay, pea-flakes or dill. "Trust your gut instinct and believe in your Right as Pet to demand leaner snacks!"
She adds that you don't really need to worry about why you are being fed (for love or meat) until you find yourself in shared accommodation with eight or more, although she won't give any guarantees on the safety still found in the number seven. There simply aren't any scientific studies to back up her personal hunch.
"Losing weight will not diminish our cuteness."
It took us too long to become proactive about our diets and domestic purpose, is the overall conclusion of Jorgé Guinea-Pig dietician in Haydenville, Ohio. He encourages us to adopt more natural lifestyles, practice a lot of squeaking and generally just stay cute. When the opportunity arises to lose the weight grab it. Many of his clients have developed such a warped relationship to food that they may even worry that dieting will affect their cuteness potential. Jorgé laughs that off. "Losing weight will not diminish our cuteness." In fact, he recommends we check out this video and find our cuteness enhanced by a lean diet.
We watched the video and died a few times over from surges of cuteness.

Guinea pig. Not a pig at all, and nothing to do with the sea. :)
in Peru, they are eaten. A good friend of mine worked there and sent photos of the prepared dishes of Guinea pigs
Yup, I initially had the roasted rodents in eagle spread on Peruvian plates in my post too! But I didn't want to have to use the tag NSFW...

Thank you for bringing to my attention that Guinea pigs don't WANT to have anything to do with the sea! They CAN swim, but after reasearching how much swimming they ever did in the wild, I was shocked to discover any kind of swimming (more cute pictures at beginning of video) in deep water is pretty much fatal to them. Even the Gulf of Guinea is probably not going to change their minds!

Added the I and see in order to correct the spelling of delicious. Funny how our (first typed hour here) minds just fill in the blanks when their are actual letters missing.
Hours because it really does come down to each and every on what we ingest.....
Again, thanks for your guidance.
But, so difficult to pretend I can't get out of the cage, things might be worse (okay, I know those aren't true), stop eating the fatty, like you write, those are the familiar goods I am used to.
Please pray for me, or I in turn hear I ought to pray myself.
And, I happened to catch (probably owing to it being Big Down-Load Day) there was also a u missing in the first line!
The edits have been made in accordance with the errors pointed out by the I's which fill in what is missing.
In trust of these eyes, we pray.
Exactly the deletions I needed for just a slight movement in the circle in order to see from a different vantage point--that is my point, even though one I've closed my eyes to. Delious is as much like delirious as much as delicious. Align with I see (c) or I are (r).....In each moment a choice.
..... to err is human, to read in between the letters divine....
Yes :)
Must be those late night write-ups getting sloppy when their, there, are actual letters misplaced in every on, one. The brain is indeed good at lovingly filling in the blanks where our fingers have failed us, or a when composer deliberately left out a note to engage the listener.
Yes, exactly, to see, to hear!
Love having a precise reader amongst my followers! There simply is no margin for error in this Stem platform. One careless cut with the scalpel pen and you'll end up as mute as a potato or a cauliflower, or pick any vegetable of your own liking, why not, since we are working in a totally free-speech environment.
Is Stem another engaging absence of note?
Notee by all means, I'd say.
