Carlos describes their findings, 'Normally when kept on "complete with sugar and yeast) and given the choice, flies do not eat food with (yeast-enriched). However, after a few days on a proteinflies preferred a yeast-rich diet. Female flies switch diets more quickly than males, and mated females quicker than virgin females.
