If you’re fat because of genetics - so what? What then? Wait for a miracle cure that may never come?

Look, son. This is an interesting article. You're not discussing the interesting article. You're just repeating the same thing, over and over.

Nobody on the thread will deny that "eat right and exercise" are good things, when it comes to weight. You're pounding away at something we all know, and none deny.

This article isn't about that, though. And you seem completely immune to that fact.

So why don't you shut up and take a look at what the article has to say. I promise you, it's a hell of a lot more interesting than anything you've posted.

I read it. It still is largely meaningless especially in light of the responses I’ve received from you and others.

They have found a gene that MIGHT control weight gain. What does that mean? That people are no longer responsible for their weight? What implications does that have now for overweight people?

In fact, it makes what people eat and how they exercise MORE important. If I was genetically predisposed to high blood pressure, wouldn’t I bear more responsibility for watching my salt intake, not less???

And as far as talking about the article, you haven’t even done that yourself. In fact, your only comments up to this point have been to ME talking not about the article, but talking about how I’m not talking about the article!

That could be because you’re incapable of having an actual intelligent discussion, and instead are a specialist at being offended on the behalf of others. Maybe because you’re such a good and superior person. A superior person that commands another poster to talk about the article, but has never done so himself.

What a load of sanctimonious BS you have been piling on this thread.
