These are our standard model organisms because they offer simplicity, short lifespans, and genetic tools we can't ethically use in humans. But growing up watching my diabetic grandmother, I learned their limitation is a lack of *life*—they don't have our decades of complex habits, poor diets, and silent stress. My textbooks say a mouse model proves a drug works, but I've seen how her Kerala sadya feast would break any lab mouse's metabolic data.
