Another problem with the "it's my genes" claim is that people don't understand
which bit the genes are altering. Generally speaking, your genes will make you less able to resist temptation or more likely to develop a food addiction, but they won't
make you fat. Metabolism varies from person to person but, over the general population, people who eat the same diet and do the same exercise will be about the same size.For a person with genetic disposition to obesity, the trappings of modern life might be more difficult to overcome, but ultimately your weight is by no means decided for you.Sorry. Best get to the gym.
