There is medication for thyroid conditions, and most conditions that can help keep the weight off. Again, the real problem that Stare and I have is that too many people are fat because they don't take care of themselves. Genetic disorders don't fall into that category.

I don't know many people, at least in the US, who can't find fresh fruits and vegetables at their local grocer and even the poorest individuals I've known could afford food at the grocery store.
