It’s been the subject of many wine-fuelled conversations with our friends – if we could only have one, would we pick sex or food?

Well, according to new research, male brains are automatically programmed to choose sex.

Researchers observing a species of microscopic roundworms called C.elegans, found that male worms that had to both find food and look for a partner would almost always chose the latter.

You guys.

And guess what the researchers found when they looked at another species who had been genetically engineered to be ‘more sensitive to food’? They were 10 times worse at finding a mate because they wanted to stay close to the food. Oh.

Assistant Professor Douglas Portman from the University of Rochester said: ‘“These findings show that by tuning the properties of a single cell, we can change behaviour.’

So does this suggest that those of us who are, err, a bit obsessed with eating are going to struggle to find a partner? Awkward.

There was, rather sadly, no data for females because the species that were included in the research didn’t actually have any female sex.
