I'll tell you about fat. I have a brother 3 years younger than myself.....he passed me in weight when I was about 12, and when I was 22, I was 135 lbs,(we were both about 6') and he was approaching 280! He has since controlled his weight...mostly, and is down to 230 or so, while I, who eat ANYTHING, never go above 175-180. My father, also 6', never weighed more than 155!.

Yeah, there are things 'some' of us can do to control 'some' weight issues, but face it...I am just lucky in my genes and metabolism. My brother got all the 'fat genes', I guess.

Our society does allow easy access to high-calorie food, while not promoting exercise enough, but there is a LOT more involved than staying away from McDonalds.
