Another fascinating article. I keep a fairly close eye on this sort of material. Obviously, obesity is a massive issue (no pun intended) for individuals and healthcare systems. With the recent focus on gut flora and fauna deficiencies, it seems that the contention that obesity is the product of a sedentary lifestyle and greed may be far wide of the mark.
Moreover, there is early-stage research that suggests poor or deficient `good' gut flora may be allowing the proliferation of bad gut flora, which may, in turn, be releasing neuro-chemicals into obese peoples bodies, that make those people ingest things that feed the bad gut flora.
The consequence of this is that a person gets obese, and may not have any real control over the process because they are being driven by a parasitic third system.
I will try and find the article and post a link to it.
