Jeff Stier on MSNBC Discussing DNA and Obesity

[assmonkey626]

this dude has a funny lisp is that genetic?

[verkpunk]

that same gene must be related to laziness, because i dont these obese people in the gym. I am naturally about 215 and would be fat as hell if i didnt workout. Most of these "obese" people would weight about 165-170 if they ran a few times a week

[archdeaconj]

That some of us are naturally more prone to putting on weight than others is hardly a contentious issue, more like stating the blindingly obvious. Of course there is a genetic component to obesity, just as there is to asthma, diabetes, heart disease, cancer...and so on. What we really want to know is what the non-genetic causes are. If an ailment is on the increase then it is the NON-genetic cause that has caused that increase, not the genetic, because THE GENE POOL REMAINS CONSTANT.
