Researchers At Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Discover Possible Connection Between Changes In Brain Wiring And Predisposition To Obesity

Be very careful about what you claim is hardwired, as in this other article: "Brain wiring link to paedophilia." (and here)
"Research-scientists at The Saban Research Institute of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles have discovered a link between predispositions to obesity and formation of brain connections that likely impact weight regulation and appetite later in life."
It is bull, anyway.

There is no wiring of any organ anywhere on the planet that will make any organism, including humans, fat in the absence of Calories in exceeding Calories out.

A clear attempt to medicalize the non-medical issues of overweight/obesity.
"Founded in 1901, Childrens Hospital Los Angeles has been treating the most seriously ill and injured children in Los Angeles for more than a century, and it is acknowledged throughout the United States and around the world for its leadership in pediatric and adolescent health. Childrens Hospital is one of America's premier teaching hospitals, affiliated with the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California since 1932. It is a national leader in pediatric research."
I do not acknowledge these opportunists as leaders in pediatric and adolescent health.

You should not either.

That is, if you care about kids' health.
