: It's too easy to say that the food or the parents are the blame!
: A person body weight is caused by the genes!

A recent study showed that both "fat" and "thin" people put on weigt at the same rate and it has very little to do with genes. As a rule where overweightness is seen in families it is due to eating habits.
