I think those few that get into the 500 to 700lb range may have an argument.

But the gigantic herds of 300lb women roaming the malls of America? Thats not genetic, thats just an above average American.

i agree. people are using circumstantial and weak evidence to support an argument that its enevitable for fat people to be fat by simply pointing out the fact that they are fat.

what is the "genetic" connection? what is the "gene"?

are you saying people can't eat well and exercise and be in good shape?... instead they will just continue to gain weight, because they can't help it?

its simple phsyics. you consume energy... you expend energy. if you expend less energy than you consume, you have a surplus. that surplus gets stored as fat.
