# obesity gene?
Those people piss me off, it's not genetic, calories in, calories out that’s all that matters. Its odd that the only people who get contract genetic obesity, are the unemployable couch potatoes who's only exercise is lifting and pointing the remote control and dressing them selves quite absurdly in sportswear.
