FAT GENE MADE MY BABY EXPLODE |

ANGRY parents are demanding compensation after an obesity gene made them feed their children until they popped.
 This 10 year-old went off near Grantham
A recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Roly-Poliness, found the 'FTO' gene means a porky child is less likely to have its appetite 'switched off', while the parents are more likely to be a pair of total retards.
Elaine Reeves, from Chesterfield, had been shoving cake into her delighted, but chubby eight year-old since he was a toddler.
"He'd had his tea and his dinner and was just sitting down to supper. He liked cake, so I always gave him loads and loads of cake.
"I'd nipped into the garden to slaughter a pig when I heard this big bang. I looked in the window and there were just bits of cake and Man Utd shirt everywhere."
She added: "Doctor said his genes were all wonky. He was my brave little 168-pound soldier."
But geneticist Dr Wayne Hayes said: "The thing about children is, they're children. And you're not. You are in charge of them.
"This means that when your child develops the look and feel of a bean bag, it's probably time to put down the shovel."
