I just watched an episode of House and he diagnosed a girl with Cushing’s – an illness that can cause obesity.
How is that possible? I was under the impression that our bodies use energy we get from food, and if it doesn’t get the food it’ll burn fat resulting in us getting slimmer – how can a disease change that?
How does it not go against some laws of thermodynamics? Maybe I’m just being silly.

This is why people shouldn’t assume everyone who is overweight because they eat too much… Thyroid disease, Arthritis, medications and so many other things can cause someone to become overweight.
Everyone’s body deals with health hiccups so differently for example when 2 people who have the same disease one person might gain no weight and the other person gains a lot of weight… we are all different.
