What's your destiny?

Stumptuous throws down some damn good science. 

Are we "destined to be fat"?

• Some people are obese. But some are not.
• Genetics matter, but it’s complicated.
• Epigenetics also matter, and it’s also complicated.
• It’s not just about how much fat, but where it goes and why it’s there. Again, complicated.
• For most people, past a certain point, it’s hard to put on a lot of weight on purpose.

OK, good.
Well, that’s nice and messy and unhelpful.
