The ability to be disciplined about eating is also a talent.

Or do you think that somehow genetics don't play one of the largest roles in your ability to be disciplined when it comes to food?

If you can be disciplined about taking a drug you can about food. How do you explain correlations in obesity across cultures? Genetic superiority? Again, imho just making excuses for laziness. The same logic you’re applying here also applies to even taking the drug and picking up refills from the mail…

Also look at obesity rates across time within the same country. It’s clearly not an issue of discipline, it’s an issue of what’s being eaten.
