If weight gain was genetic then we’d have fat ancestors. Nobody has fat ancestors.

So sure we can drug everyone to try and fix it, but that’s not actually fixing the cause.



Available food/calorie supply has dramatically increased over time[0] so many ancestors probably didn’t have the opportunity to get fat even if they had the genes.
