your assumption that I am arguing this from a personal defensive position is comically offbase: I am a healthy average weight, living on a diet of mostly natural unprocessed foods (as much as can be said in regards to current modern food practices, at least). My diet has been predominantly determined by the diet of my parents, which was predominantly determined by the diet of THEIR parents and so on all the way back for millions of years.
the 60+ year long genetics study I posted displays a direct causal link between genetics, behaviour, and physiology, which you were attempting to claim does not exist
your genes quite literally dictate who and what you are - the physical construction of your brain and organs, and the way in which they and by extension YOU perceive and respond to your external environment
your whole argument basically equates to "just pull yourself up by your bootstraps bro", and completely fails to take into account the wide gamut of physical and psychological factors that dictate the way living organisms interact with the world
your attempt to claim that everybody ISN'T a "victim" of their genes is patently absurd.
you may as well try to claim you're a fucking seagull, but your genes will still say otherwise.
