Thank you so much for pointing out this article. Dang animal experimentation......

I read the article. It is amazing what you can convince yourself of if you really want to. That man wanted one monkey to look miserable and the other have a wry smile because that suited his argument but I think that they both look equally miserable so I guess that is the way monkeys are.
It is not about living longer, it is about living better and the monkey on the restricted calorie diet is probably living better because he does not have as many health problems.
I know which one I want to be.
