Exercise and the fat gene

the above link is to an interesting story that can be summarized,  if you have the fat gene and exercise 4 hours a day, and maybe if you are Amish.  You won't get fat.

My job requires me to sit on my butt all day.  One hour of exercise is about all I have time for.  It helps, but not enough.

I guess most of us here are screwed then...lol.

That's all right. A couple of the surgeries bypass the part of the small intestine where a hormone reaction occurs that turns food into fat - which means the genes are in effect, being bypassed as well!
