For What It's Worth, I recently read an article that mentioned FTO, the 'Fat Gene', which influences a person's tendency to become overweight or obese. Because my wife and I did a 23andme genetics analysis about a decade ago, I looked up this gene evaluation on my account. My gene pool puts me at an average likelihood to accumulate excessive weight. Go figure.

    I’ve always figured the lines of the naturally thin ended when they starved to death in the famines.
