AEtiology of EAtiological disorders

Hi All

Forgive the bad pun.

This is from a post to another list. i believe the argument

holds not only for ED's but many other compulsive

behaviours as well. The genetics is dealt with

simplistically, but i believe the basic argument sound.

" the explosion of obesity in this country in the last 100

years, and particularly in the last 20 years. Portion sizes are 2 and 3

time what they were in the 50's (write to Center for Science in the

Public Interest for specifics; their last issue (Nutrition Action) was

on this subject); labor saving devices are standard; we basically eat

too much and sit too much.

Yet the search for an obesity gene goes on. We've evolved that quickly

in 100 years? There's alway been an obesity gene and there still is.

Some people are genetically obese. Some mice are genetically obese.

Some people have thyroid deficiencies. But most people are obese

because they eat too much and sit too much. "
