I agree with you somewhat, yes were are all genetically wired differently,but then you owe it to yourself, children to eat differently if you know you have that tendancy to become fat i guess, easier said than done though,there are very few people who can actually contribute their weight problems to gland issues, but some do have thyroid problems and that certainly makes you overweight,and makes it extremely difficult to loose weight,although it can be done, but it is three times as hard.

I think the truth is we all just eat way too much, i am a strong believer in you can almost eat anything you like, but it is the quantity that is the problem.
