Re: 6 new genes suggest obesity is in your head, not your gut

I don't think we can forget that alot of 'obese' people are the way they are because of food choices. Even if someone has the desire to eat alot it does not mean you need to eat cheeseburgers and junk food. Sometimes I eat up to 4 large salads a day I try to do some form of excersize everyday. To say people are fat because they are hungry is a bit of a far stretch. People who choose large and unhealthy servings with a low activity lifestyle general put on weight.This article leaves me unconvinced.
