        99 times out of 100 the secret to avoiding #obesity is simple - eat less. Really quite easy if you set your mind to it.

        The gene exists however the food style activates it in a moment of the life.

        Love how clickbait idiots talk "genes" when the human race's genes had no obesity epidemic for millennia. #DontBeAPig

        Despite research & new findings in the human body, ignorance prevails in making weight a moral/willpower issue. Sad.

        is this some twisted way to validate anorexia as a treatment, but saying it's cool if it's a "genetic mutation?" SMH
