    Re: Obesity is all in the mind

    Hmm...seems kind of flimsy to me! People who have all the gene variants are only 1.5-2 kg heavier than average! For an obese person (or anyone really) 2 kg is not really that much. I still think obesity is much more likely to be caused by behaviour... interesting article though!
