"There's a lot of parent-blaming that goes on," says the New York Obesity Research Center's Carnell, part of a British team trying to tease out just how genetics affect appetite, "and I think that's probably unfair. Parents are a powerful influence, but there are other influences as well--like genes." Recognizing that at least some cards in the obesity hand are dealt even before a child is born can be an important first step for parents and kids accustomed to thinking their weight woes are all their own fault.

To be fair, Sarkozy had nothing to do with Dion's selection, which was made in 2005. Nor is there anything new in the Legion inducting honorees whose selection induces a blanching response among people of taste. While professional cynics such Porte lavishly mock a national joke...
