A recent study (found here) analyzed the influence that genes have as a factor of becoming obese. First, was it a good study? No, it was pretty lackluster. The variables allowed to exist in this study made it pretty much not even a study and more of a census test. Parents measured the data, mailed it in, and that was basically it. Sure, it involved twins but really I need more substance than twins. At least twins and the parents having to measure them blindfolded, that’s validity right there.

The question is, though, does it really matter anyway? So what if your genes make the likelihood of you storing fat more possible. Who says you have to store it?

My Point is you make your journey in life as long as you have free will and unless something really freaky is going on in your household, you choose what you put in your mouth.
