        So how did genetics change recently, and more in the US than elsewhere?

        not change, same genes mean more BMI now. Genes a driver of differences, not determinism http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2532014#.V3v3hawaU-0.twitter …

        Yes, but why? Clearly indicates something non-genetic has changed. "Low willpower" of course polemic.

        mostly diet. exercise is healthy, but it won't cause much weight loss. impulsivity is part of it and part of that is genetic.

        People get #obese because they eat too much. WHY they eat too much is complicated & has powerful #genetic drivers.

        obesity is also psychological. It's a lot more complicated then willpower

        Americans should blame obesity on the sugar lobby and the fast food industry. Plenty of non-Americans are genetically similar...

        Nobody FORCES anybody, but American foods are filled with obscene amounts of refined sugar...even the tea is sugar
