      Yes it is. Just read any financial paper printed this week and you'll see the latest moves on this area by the Pru.

        • Obesity runs in my Mom's side of the family, and I am very overwieght. It IS genetic.

          • There can be genetic factors, but you really can control it.

              Obesity runs on both my mother's and father's side (my uncles on my mother's side are all over 300 lbs and my aunts on my father's side are mostly ridiculously overweight).

              I'm 5'11.5 and weigh 155 lbs. My brother is my height and weighs 130 lbs. My sister is 5'6 and weighs 120 lbs

                • obesity runs on my mom's side. And I was 50 pounds overweight at one point.

                  I did lose the weight. But it does involve a great deal of self-discipline. Not something everyone has. I don't blame people for lacking discipline. It's another one of those genetic traits. Some people have it, others don't.

                  • Is there is a gene for obesity, there most have been a mass of similar mutations in the US in the last couple of generations.

                    • There's a genetic link to conditions that can cause obesity, such as unusually slow metabolisms or thyroid conditions.

                      It goes the other way as well. My wife eats a phenomenal amount, and never gains an ounce. Anything below 3000 calories daily and she loses weight.

                        That loose phrasing I could agree with - we all inherit a desire to overeat.

                        We don't inherit a tendency to obesity, though.

                        • So obesity is not genetic.

                          • Does it usually take you three hours to reach a conclusion? Is being a bit slow genetic?

                              How did you eliminate the possibility of social inheritance?
                              Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
