This is very interesting.

Yes, it is interesting. Adds some dimension to the discussion around here about "I was obese but healthy" "you wouldn't stay healthy" sort of thing.

I'd predict that the following quote will not be the part picked up by popular media:

It may be tempting to think of obesity as the consequence of genes – inherited from our parents. It is true, but the impact of our genes pales in comparison to the overwhelming impact of high caloric intake and sedentary lives.

Yeah, call me cynical.
