Discovery Of 6 New Genes Suggests Obesity Is In Your Head, Not Your Gut

Or not.
"New research suggests that genes that predispose people to obesity act in the brain and that perhaps some people are simply hardwired to overeat."
Try the "hardwired" excuse the next time you behave badly.

Like, as examples:
if you rape a child or
if you do cocaine or
if you go berserk on a snake at the petting zoo
Clearly, self-control is trumped by these hardwiring "facts."

(As it also is by the other around 5,994 genes (so far) allegedly associated with body weight.)

It is therefore unreasonable for us to expect responsible behavior in any setting.

Just wait long enough and the "hardwired" defense will come into play.

The defense rests.
