There are people too, with thyroid problems. Graves Disease, (hyperthyroidism) once treated, can permanently lower the metabolism.

Sure, but way too many people blame being slovenly on medical issues. This is in no way scientific, but I'd bet that maybe 5% of people who are obese have an underlying medical problem that made them that way.
The rest are fat cause they like the Dairy Queen.
