Yes, that is very clearly implied by the link.
This is misleading
why misleading? If some people being more predisposed to being obese is the truth, its not misleading to explain w ...[text shortened]... morally responsible for his actions? I would call that diminished responsibility (legal term ) .

Too afraid of debate?

Close one's eyes and hands over ears shouting "La La La La I will not listen to reason that might change by beliefs so will not listen to you La La La La"
Refusal to listen to reason or look at the evidence is the mark of an arrogant delusional mind.
Reminds me of the attitude by a representative of the pope when Galileo asked him to look through his telescope at the newly discovered four moons of Jupiter, something the pope believed was impossible, he answered: "I refuse to look at something which my religion tells me cannot exist."

You just cannot reason with people like that.
