Follow-up: Why appetite effects are mostly central posts 91–91

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Where a mechanism is proposed to explain an effect, the useful follow-up is what observation would distinguish it from the alternative. Most mechanistic threads here never get asked that.
