New  York, NY – March 16, 2011 – Dr. Veronica Anderson, social media medicine expert and Host of health and wellness web radio talk show, Wellness for the REAL World, recently welcomed freelance writer Monica Dutcher to be a guest blogger on her popular website, http://www.DrVeronica.com.  In her blog entitled “The Real Secret To Being Thin,” Dutcher contends that the fat gene carries less weight in the American obesity epidemic than we’d like to think.

Dutcher writes, “An obese America is literally hanging its life on the fat gene, a coat rack of excuses that discredits the importance of personal action… I am not just some Skinny Minnie who can eat hamburgers all day. I am health conscious, always on the lookout for this sacred temple that is the human body. What are you going to do to show your body some love? Because it sure needs it, no matter how fat your parents were or how thin you might “naturally” be.”
