That's the dumbest thing I've read in a LOOOOOONG time. Obesity can indeed be genetic. A genteic predisposition for a weight problem makes the fight to "stay fit" rather difficult. You are going to be "big boneded" regardless of what you do to fight it. You can prevent it, even when you are genetically inclined for this condition - but it would take more than just eating two pounds of food/day (which by the way is simply "counting calories." Less than 2000 calories/day = weight loss. Around 1000/day = drastic weight loss (and can be very dangerous for some dieters).
Obesity, by definition, is excessivley over weight, period. It makes no assumption about how one becomes over weight.
Gluttony by definition is willful over consumption (of anything).
Please get your definitions straight before you post inaccurate information.
