AND ignored that there IS an obesity gene.

Yeah, right.

The "obesity gene" was nowhere to be found two generations ago, but all of a sudden it's prevalent throughout society? That's not how it works. Next thing you'll be telling us is that there is, in fact, a gay gene.

I also never knew that telling overweight people to consume less energy than they burn was "dangerous."

It's no wonder so many people are so confused.

Now, not to say that a healthy diet and strength training cannot help out, but really, it’s more like telling my 5’8” daughter that she can work to be short. Starting from childhood I may have been able to feed her a diet that stunted her growth. AND I can teach my kids to eat right and exercise, but they will not be skinny. EVER.
