"You're obese because genetics"

[Pseudonym]

Certainly a genetic predisposition to storing fat doesn't help, but a large part of this is cultural.

Some years ago, I spent some time surveying customers in Wendy's restaurants. The results were fascinating, and conformed to every stereotype you can imagine. In more affluent, educated areas like Albany, the most popular order was chicken, with a high number of salads. In South Auckland, it was virtually all beef burgers, and the more patties in them the better. Salads were so rarely ordered, I'm not sure they even bothered putting them on the menu. The managers there said there was even a noticeable difference between takeaway and eat-in orders... the really unhealthy fatties never even got out of their car.

Older Afro-Americans that aren't into sports or crack/meth, are mostly overweight...!!

I'm not sure that this is the correct conclusion to have drawn.

[Dinahlady]

Where did you get this from? 

Seems like BS to me. 

I thought eugenics proved that this kind of thing doesnt work like that.
