U.K. study: Mice don't crave cheese

My whole worldview has been turned on its head of late. First I learned that dogs are really into vegetables. Now I hear that mice don't really like cheese.

Despite what years of watching Tom and Jerry may have taught me, British scientists say otherwise. Researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University have found that mice don't like cheese because they prefer foods that are high in sugar. Their diet consists mostly of grains and fruit. Interestingly enough, the study was backed by the Stilton Cheese Makers' Association.
