yes, that was the first thing i said, which i have also admitted was wrong. i should have explained myself more clearly as to what i meant, and i didn't really realize at the time i was being to vague.
anyway. i've just read
this site and i didn't realize when the disease was first mentioned that there was a mental retardation envolved and the people with the disease can't really stop themselves from eating (that's the impression i got, i've still got a few more sites to check out).
this site however does indicate that with help of family and health professionals, obesity can be prevented.
anyway, i'm gonna read a couple more sites.
