its genetic innit

I've screengrabbed this article from the Indy today because it's so shocking, so utterly against the 'control everything' lobby, that I doubt it will survive for long. The implications of it are profound.

What it isn't saying, although the thought is implied by the article, is that the current 'wave of obesity' is caused by fatties producing offspring. It's genetic you see? All of the slimming industry, the anti-fats-in-food movement have just had the rug pulled out from underneath their funding if this research is correct. The real 'solution' to reduce obesity is to stop them breeding.

And no I'm not suggesting that should happen. I'm just saying that things like the fat tax are pointless as they aren't going to have any effect at all. Unless the overweight become too hungry to be able to breed.
