Fat? Blame Your Parents

FatScientists have apparently discovered the fat gene. A gene variant has been found in around 16% of the population and it is thought to be responsible for increasing rates of obesity.

If you happen carry two of the fat gene variants, you are 70% more likely to be obese - and are likely to be 3kgs heavier on average.
