If what EvPsych has on offer are glib rationalizations, from an evolutionary perspective, 'explaining' (e.g.) how we come to like sitting down and eating sugar, then no, I don't want to see more funding for evolutionary psychology, either. Psychology already contributes a lot of research of dubious value to anyone with a couple of extra neurons to rub together without looking deep into the past to come up with something to tell the creationists.
