Those was the changed gene may not sense when they have eaten enough or if they have sufficient fatty tissue. And thus， you can't tell when to stop eating.

　　The researchers also reported finding a gene nearly identical to the mouse obesity gene in humans. The operation of this gene in humans has not yet been demonstrated. however. Still， professionals like University of Vermont psychologist Esther Rothblum， reacted enthusiastically： ”This research indicate that people really are born with the tendency to have a certain weight just as they are to have a particular skin color or height”.

　　Actually， behavioral geneticists believe that less than half of total weight variation is programmed in the genes， while height is almost entirely genetic determined. Whatever role genes play， Americans are getting fatter. A survey by the Center for Disease Control found obesity has increased greatly over the last ten years. Such rapid change underlines the role of environmental factors like the abundance of rich foods in Americans' overeating. The Center for Disease Control has also found that teens are far less physically active than they were even a decade ago. Accepting that weight is predetermined can relieve guilt for overweight people. But people’s belief that they cannot control their weight can itself contribute to obesity.
