can i have proof of that?
and im not trying to be a smart ass, i'm literally curious. i know there have been lots of studies on it and shows (60 min, etc...) trying to prove it. |
Here is a good article about it. It even has statistical data. I am aware that the article is a little old, but I am looking for others. |

Here is a VERY recent article (Sept 2008) that even says that the average BMI that you were likely to have in this supposed "fat" gene is 4lbs. It is from the American Medical Association.

i just dont find that to be true at all. how come i NEVER have to work out in order to maintain my weight & body physique and yet i know people who have to have really strict diets in order to maintain their weight? some people have slow metabolism and some people have fast metabolism so of COURSE it has to do with your genetic makeup. |

Metabolic performance has a HUGE effect on how you process and digest food. As I said, some people are more prone to gaining weight more easily than others or have a slow metabolism, but you are NOT prone to being obese.
Jammers, I am in a family of fat s. EVERYONE with the exception of my sister and myself, at least on my egg donors side, is fat. |

haha... you're an odd bird, Arbiter. Nicely laid out though. All true statements (Jerz the tax guru, can you confirm?). My beef is simply that I don't think the government should make those kinds of personal decisions. It can be a slippery slope |
It's a very slippery slope....whats to stop the government from putting a tax on everything they think is not good for us. Next thing you know there will be a tax on heavy metal music because its the devils music, a gas consumption tax for those that don't drive environmentally friendly vehicles, a tax on non-organic food, a violent video game tax, or an ammunition tax. |

yes but you don't turn into a 300 lbs human pig just because your metabolism is slow. if you had a slow metabolism you would either eat less or exercise to compensate or you would carry an extra 25 lbs. But you are not picking up an extra 150 lbs because of your metabolism, maybe in very rare cases because of some thyroid issues or something. If you really watch what someone who is morbidly obese eats over the course of an entire day you realize why they are that fat. I have seen this bitch who sits next to me literally wrap a stick of butter in a piece of bread and sit there and eat that

well, in addition to the butter sandwich she does like if you are at lunch with her she orders something really small, I guess to make it look like she doesn't overeat. But then when she gets back to herself she will eat half a bag of oreos. god I have to stop thinking about that its making me sick |

That is not prone to being obese. That is called personal choice to get ing obese. You gain weight, CHANGE YOUR ING DIET!!!!! ugh
Jamie, I challenge you to find a fat ****** that was not fat out of their own doing. Not having a diet that promotes being thin. |
