it is mostly genetic.
If it is mostly genetic, how come there is so much more childhood obesity now than historically? Do more people have a genetic tendency to obesity?
I think it’s the high carb foods combined with lack of activity.
BULLSH*T!!!
Explain to me how the entire world's genetics have radically changed in the last decade or two.
I believe it's the modern lifestyle of less activity and loads of cheap enticing fast food and junk food ... and DoorDash and UberEats have guaranteed you no longer even have to get off your couch, just dial the phone.
The cynic in me suspects that food chemists have found a way to make said junk food both desirable so you eat it and ultimately unfulfilling so you eat MORE of it ... and that the chemicals in them make people fatter.
Correct. The human being is genetically programmed to hunt meat and and whatever he can forage while burning a lot of calories in the pursuit - and sometimes go without food.
We are not genetically programmed to pound down moon pies and co'cola while sitting on our asses all day.

Well, if it’s mostly genetic, then they have to work a little harder to keep the weight off. It’s mostly putting too much food in your mouth all day long.
