I think growth hormones and genetic engineering play a very small role if any. From my experience, the fat people I know eat too much. One of my overweight coworkers eats his lunch (which his wife packed for him) for breakfast and then go out for lunch every day. His wife at home keeps wondering why he is fat.

I am also 5 to 10 lbs overweight and I know I eat more than I should. I go out for lunch with my coworkers two to three times a week. When I cut it down to once a week I can lose 5 lbs in two to three months but it is hard to do.

[quote=GH]Growth hormones, genetic engineering…

We are at a “Soylent Green” moment in our history when we awoke and discovered our planet cannot support 7 billion humans. Growth hormones, artificial fertilizers and genetic engineering are the only way we can keep everyone fed. I suspect they are also behind obesity although the PTB will deny this.[/quote]
