"It's not bad, it's genetics!" My number one reason to hate the excuse that obesity is genetic, is that hams use it as a defence when you call them out of being ross, ugly, or unattractive. So much of the FA bullshit is centred on how you must learn to love fat bodies because genetiks and disrciminashun etc. But that is the point.... we don't want those genetics in our family lines. First off, genetics doesn't cause obesity. Could it have an effect on weight retention? Sure. Can it defy the laws of thermodynamics and produce calories out of thin air? Never. But lets say for even a moment that if genetics were to blame, it is all the more reason to avoid you, avoid breeding with you, and avoid allowing you to breed so you don't spread those tainted genetics into our future generations. The future of this race deserves so much better than that garbage.
