Do you guys actually believe that being fat isn't due to genetics?

Sure, if you genetics lead to you having mental retardation.
Life-long eating habits is what determines whether someone is fat or not.
If you grew up as a kid that under-ate and hated eating and avoided food (a lot of kids are like this) you can grow up skeleton mode for life, due to the fact nobody ever put you into place and taught you to eat.
Then you have the opposite end of the scale where people grow up over-consuming high calorie foods and never learn moderation, they end up fat their whole life.

Sup retard.
Let me educate you.
>Studies that have focused on inheritance patterns rather than on specific genes have found that 80% of the offspring of two obese parents were also obese, in contrast to less than 10% of the offspring of two parents who were of normal weight.[115]
>Different people exposed to the same environment have different risks of obesity due to their underlying genetics.[116]
Some people just have bad fat storing genetics.
Of course the offspring of two obese parents will most likely be fat, they're gonna over feed their fucking child and give them the same diet and lifestyle they have
Time to derail this fat-acceptance thread - with no survivors

Yeah and these genes also manifest in the urge to guzzle 4 liters of soda drinks every day and eat 4000cals with living a sedentary life.

jesus christ you're dense. Ya i wonder why the child of two heavy cruisers are going to grow up fat. NOBODY is fat because of genetics. The only exception is the genetics which causes people to be born with an extra chromosome like you, you disgusting pile of fat and bile.

Do I think genetics play a role, yes, I think they do, but not to the extent that either side claims it to be.

Shocking
Wow, I can't believe people on a fitness board don't know shit about fitness.
Yes, being fat can be genetic. That doesn't mean they have to be fat, but it requires WAY more effort for them than an average person.
Some people, like me, are underweight due to genetics. My father was 6'2'' and 130 in highschool, and so was I. For us it requires a shit ton of effort just to have an average body.
