Why do we act like being fat isn't genetic?

I look at guys like Johnvee and this fishing influencer that I like to watch:

Propensity with regard to metabolism and such? Sure

Blaming genetics while shoveling french fries in your mouth and shaking like kormo? No

you're only seeing how johnvee is currently eating to LOSE weight, not what he ate to gain all that weight. Johnvee used to shovel 9 pounds of chocolate into his gullet every day and he drank 8 liters of coca cola, while pissing. Go ask him, say "smackboy says you used to consume 15k calories per day like a pisser" and see what he says. go ahead, ask him....ASK HIM....go ahead....i smack the city boy

It can be genetic but those people can easily get in shape, they just have to have more discipline

Being fat isn't genetic. It's mostly a result of the habits instilled in you during the period between 2-18.

Another example, ****** always blame the curry diet for being skinnyfat. However, the curry diet is loaded with micronutrients and the cooking fat is usually ghee(clarified butter) rather than seed oils. Meanwhile, every hood NFL/NBA BBCs grew up eating complete trash like McDonalds yet they're jacked.

Genetics > all.
Americans aren't fat because of the foods they eat. They're fat bacause of the quantities of those things.

Asians are eating small meals with like 800 calories. They're not eating 2000 calorie value meals.

There's definitely a genetic component to it. But they also have no willpower. But you could argue that having no willpower is also genetic lol

Larry Wheels said he used 2500mg of test + other chit at one point. Pretty sure Shane Hunt was 275lbs at one point just using 500mg and an oral during meet preps. Of course shane hunt could have been lying.

I've heard so many people say the diminishing returns thing is bs. Seth Feroce says the difference between 2000mgs and 2500mg is huge.

Larry Wheels also always had coaches so it's not like he did his own programming or diet. I'm not saying he doesn't have better genetics than everyone though.

There was a time when I was 210lbs with visible abs. Given that you're juicing and have actually gotten smaller, maybe you shouldn't be giving advice or your opinion.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
