In Obese Children, Researchers Examine Nature Vs. Nurture

NPR morons bring you a big reason why this matter will not be resolved.

Scientists are still trying to understand the causes of childhood obesity and how best to treat it. Researchers in the area are attacking the problem in a number of different ways: examining environmental influences, genetic triggers, psychological reasons, new medicines, and even epi-genetics, which looks at how the prenatal environment influences genes.

When you are in complete denial as to the sole cause of overweight/obesity, i.e., more Calories in than out, you cannot fix the problem.
