Some scientist believe there be a virus behind the recent growth in obesity. Certainly, unhealthy eating habits have been a major factor, but they hold that diet habits have not changed enough to explain this fully. The Nobel Prize in Medicine recently went to a physician who discovered that ulcers can be caused by a viral infection. So it isn't so far-fetched to believe that something like this could be caused by virus. Of course, I dread the day when people avoid trying to lose weigh because "they can't help it, it's a virus."
