Actually, I believe that obesity can actually be hereditary to a certain extent,come people are not born with quick metabolisms or the rate at which they store fat is lower than that of a regular individual. Diet of course does play a role in the body type of a person but there are some that can't help what they inherit, doesn't mean they'll be obese but it's more likely they'll end up that way.
