What About The Obesity Gene?

New Obesity Research – The Obesity Gene

Just saw a really interesting article in Parade Magazine. Acording to the author, FTO, otherwise known as the “obesity gene,” is found in more than half of some populations. Okay, I admit it – the obesity gene is definetely in my gene pool. My cousin used to call it “the zest for food” or maybe she said lust for food. I don’t remember but I know my ancestors have that gene. Apparently those with two copies of the gene (I guess that means both your parents have it) have a 70% more likely chance to be obese than noncarriers. But it seems, in this case we don’t have to necessarily live our DNA.

A layoff can be a huge crisis for many people. Along with incomes, good credit, health benefits, and homes can be lost. On the other hand, many people use their time off work as an opportunity to expand their personal networks, start their own business, or find a better job. What is the difference? Why is a job loss a crisis sometimes, and an opportunity another time?
