So, my biology buds, Im doing a paper on hormones like Leptin, which regulates appetite and is an evolutionary function designed to ultimately propagate the species in times of famine. The crux of my research is the school of thought in genetics that says some of us are just genetically designed to eat more calories when theyre readily available and plentiful, which is why were seeing such an epidemic now, because we have so much readily available calories at our disposal. That part has been confirmed, but Science apparently still doesnt have all the coding genes identified, but like furniture in a dark room, they know its there. I think my thesis will sound something like this: that one day, we will look back on weight control/self-control, self-esteem issues like primitive civilizations looked upon a bad harvest as a personal judgement from their gods. i.e., although its about choices to some degree, like with technology apps, theres a gene for that! My question to the professionals: how much is theory, how much is fact? And is there enough fact to back up a thesis like that? Id like to know before I start digging for credible sources....! Thanks!
