NOTHING MAKES YOU OBESE BUT CONTINUALLY EATING MORE CALORIES THAN YOU BURN. ITS SIMPLE PHYSICS.
all peoples metabolisms are not equal. some people burn more energy throughout the day, some less. some people have more efficient metabolisms, some less efficient. etc etc etc.. all those types of arguments have nothing to do with the simple fact that the power and control to be obese or not obese is always in the individuals hands. "Genetics" does not cause a surplus of calories consumed for the day. "Genetics" is just an excuse.

Sums up the thread. Fat gluttons shouldn't really look for excuses when it is obvious they are devouring more calories than can be burned by their bodies. I can respect people like TGF that just acknowledge they are habitual gormandizers consuming a lot more than they require to survive.
Also, to Lady Mischeif, I don't understand how your son.. consumes so much food at 8 years old without gaining any weight. I suspect he is eating around 10,500 daily calories somehow, yet he is 50 pounds?
