Belly Fat: Are Scientists Going Crazy?


When it this madness going to stop?


In an article on Yahoo front page, "Kids with obesity-linked gene like fattening foods" - Scientists have somehow "discovered" a gene linked to obesity in children.


BUT are you ready for this?


They said the gene is actually not causing kids to be fat - it's apparently causing them to overeat!?


To test this study, they gave the children three meals including a mix of fruits and vegetables, ham, cheese, potato chips, chocolate candies and bread rolls.


WHAT?!?!


In my opinion, the test is inherently flawed and setting these children up for failure!! Kids crave junk food and if you put it in front of them - of course they're going to eat it!!


And, Mr. Scientist, do you want to know why these kids are getting fatter? Because you're feeding them JUNK!


Why not do the study with more fruits, vegetables, and whole foods? I'll bet that if you conducted the study with a wholesome and nutritious combination of fat burning foods - the kids would not only lose weight - they'd actually be healthier!


... and it's studies like this one that only confuses people into believing that, somehow, obesity is "not their fault" - when, in fact, a simple change in their lifestyle can stimulate a fascinating life-changing difference with more energy, vitality and a massive increase in their health!
