Never knowing you're full.
Give me an example of some of the questions you asked.
Did you find an effect that suppressed the effect of the gene?
In other words, could you manipulate your environment so the gene lost its effect?
What might be the implications of that for parents or children or what have you?
And you've been looking at just how early in life your track towards obesity might start.
if you line up a hundred kids, your position in terms of fatness of those hundred kids sticks with you?
So these are identical and non identical twins so you can compare environmental and genetic effects?
They're very young.
And what have you discovered so far in the first year of life?
So this might them make them more susceptible to junk food advertising as they go.
And is there any difference turning up between breastfed and bottle fed?
in other words, just to summarise, you're trying to pick this up before it's locked in by the age of five, just to see what might be malleable.
Exactly a child who might be at risk 'cause they guzzle.
One of the key things is of course whether you enjoy your food.
How do you tell whether a baby's enjoying their food?
Claire Owellan is in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London, and you're in the Health Report at ABC Radio National.
The hope in all this is that knowing more about how people eat will lead to better ways of keeping, particularly children's weight, down and preventing them becoming obese adults.
It's a tough business, and at the forefront of research into techniques for weight control in children is Carrie Boutel, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the University of California San Diego.
So this is the theory that if you're got an eating problem, it's a family problem as much as your own problem as a child.
