However genes have a protein wrapping the gene that can influence the gene expression and therefore phenotypes to the environment.[1] How we act and consume now affects our epigenome, and consequently our offspring's genome.[15] This supports Lamark's theory, prior to Darwin, who initially proposed the theory of our genes changing with behaviour and experience.[16] A study from the University of Auckland warned pregnant women against dieting due to the increased likelihood in their child acquiring eating disorders such as obesity,[17] hence the way we consume food.
