Genetics vs environment...............How does it relate to obesity

[calvus]

I need some help. I'm doing a college paper that touches on a few topics such as genetic heritability, genotype role in body composition phenotype, set-point theory (settling point), and hormonal regulation in weight management.

As part of this I need some input on which seems to be a predominant influence on body composition and obesity trends. Genetic makeup or environmental factors. I just need to know what your opinions are on nature vs nurture.

Thanks in advance to all that reply, I appreciate it.
