This is total b.s.. Compare the average weight/height of Americans today versus anytime in the past-- when people knew that gluttony was a sin, and when most jobs required hard physical work-- and you'll quickly see that the so-called genetic basis of obesity is hogwash. It's a character issue, pure and simple. And character is something that we're all of us, all the time, working on-- either in a positive or a negative direction.
There is NO character issue, no matter how severe, that we cannot change about ourselves, with our own hard work and help from God. None.
Bill Doty and Joe Peacock are staff writers on Broken Newz. They must be having a real laugh because this bogus story has been picked up on a lot of forums lately.
