From Twitter.

is it weird that as i got through the tweet my understanding of it lessens?

If you had a recent ancestor who went through starvation it actually altered their genetics and may have passed down genes to you that make you hold on to fat. So this tweet is more accurate than you’d think.

More on that.

Seriously, my body is expecting the next ice age.

This study of this phenomena is called Epigenetics and it usually occurs when someones grandparent went through something such as a period of starvation when pregnant with your parent as that is when the egg that created you was created and so some genes were potentially turned on or off and metabolism isnt necessarily the only thing affected its a recent area of study so we dont know everythng yet but its awesome!!!
