Susceptibility To Obesity Involves Changes In Entire Gene Networks

Crap and no crap.

No crap:
"Two new studies by scientists in the US, Iceland and France suggest susceptibility to obesity, and by implication other common diseases, involves changes in entire networks of highly connected genes and is not just a case of variations in specific individual genes."
If there is genetics to overweight/obesity, it remains way too complex for us to figure out.

BTW, obesity is not a disease at all, either common or uncommon.

Neither is overweight.

Crap:
"Thus the genetic predisposition to obesity and other common diseases appears to make more sense when scientists examine the emergent properties, the "macro-level" effects, of gene networks rather than the individual "micro-level" effects of disease-susceptibility genes."
It is not a susceptibility issue.

It is an issue of caloric, personal and social irresponsibility.

Nothing more. nothing less.
