		<description>While some may be born with a slight propensity to store more adipose tissue than others and be perfectly healthy while carrying a higher or lower body fat percentage, I reject the notion that this can come anywhere close to explaining why people are far more fat today worldwide than in the recent past (within my personal memory, even).

If you remember back just twenty years ago our idea of a "fat" kid was a kid who today we would simply say is a bit heavy. The standards and even semantics of being a fatass have changed drastically. It is, in my view, at least as much about changing social standards as it is nutrition. This is the position I wish to examine from an athletic angle. I would like to look less at what we are eating and more at what we are doing or failing to do.

I also want to bounce this off of a trained geneticist and nutritionist who I know very well, and let her have a crack at interpreting all the data I collect and explaining her take at both a high and low resolution. I'll get more into the weeds as time goes on... that is best left to the show itself, which I plan to start shooting next week if possible. Hopefully editing will not take too long.</description>

		<description>Interesting shift.  As an avid reader of the blog and a one-time amateur sports nutritionist, I am excited to see what comes of it.  I agree with your hypothesis to a point, but I do not discount the notion that some are born with a genetic propensity to store more adipose tissue.  
So when she says, "I's just big-bowned!" hey, who knows...</description>
