IS BEING FAT CAUSED BY GENETICS? PUT A PERSON ON A DESERTED ISLAND, THINK THEY'LL STAY FAT?

I have to ask this question, because it's a valid point. Is weight gain EVER genetic? I really don't think so. Let's say you have something happen like in the movie Castaway, where a fat person is stuck on a desert island for 4 years. Do you honestly think that person will be overweight at the end of that time? I really don't think so. What are your thoughts on this?

They will end up being thin
They will eat 100 coconuts a day and be fat as hell
Not a valid experiment
Don't really know...

COMMENTS:
This bears a striking resemblance to a ballot i did about a week ago called
"is there really ever any excuse for being really fat"
hhmmmm, they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery i suppose, so thanks!
Obviously this topic needs to be talked about anyway, i vote they moan for a week or two about how hungry they are, then gradually all the fat turns to muscle and all us skinnies end up being there bitches and fetching coconuts for them. And scratching their backs when they want it..

It is genetic in the sense that metabolism is determined by genetics. Those fat asses you see now were fit during the ice age, because they required less food to maintain their weight.

A spurious association. You can say *Is being right-handed genetic* and then place abitrary and non-genetic restraints on the subject like cutting off their right hand and seeing if they use their left.

Or by asking: Is heterosexuality a dominant trait, and then placing female subjects on an island with 80-year-old male lepers suffering from erectile dysfunction.

On one hand, I tend to suspect factors other than genetics for obesity. On the other hand, the situation you pose has no absolutely no valid, logical connections.

BOTH

simple as that.

WTF? are you THAT ignorant???

Within my test there are two specific causes for a person being overweight...

1) genetics
2) eating too much unhealthy food

With the idea I have proposed in this ballot, I have completely removed the ability to overeat unhealthy food from the equation, leaving only genetics to cause a person to be overweight.

When I stopped eating for one day because of the flu I got a hell of a lot skinnier. I weighed myself and I weighed less, and I looked in the mirror and I saw I was skinnier. Not always genetics. Although genetics play a big part in it, there always genetics involved with how much you weigh.

They won't be fat, but they'll deal with starvation better then someone who has a raging metabolism.

Hypothetically, that is.
