This segment of the One Show investigates how the obese in the UK costs the tax payer to treat. There is no real opposing argument given, the only brief time given was less than 30 seconds. No medical facts were given or any discussion on how diet and genetics plays an important part in a persons size.
While I was digging for information, the science actually pointed to genetics playing a negligible role. Diet plays a huge role, and I'll admit genetics may have a secondary effect psychologically -- but the mechanics of energy use remain almost exactly the same for everyone.
