Conceiving babies in winter means they are much less prone to being fat

The study, which was published in Nature Medicine, scientists from ETH university in Zurich claims that men who spend time in low temperatures before they have sex have more brown adipose tissue in their sperm (Mmm brown adipose tissue – so hot). The brown adipose tissue (try saying that three times fast) can then be passed on to what eventually becomes a baby. And when that baby grows up, because of the brown adipose tissue (why can’t I stop saying brown adipose tissue?) it is less likely to become obese

But then the husband has to deal with a pregnant wife in the summer heat.

Skinny people need to take more effort in the winter to stay warm, perhaps.

Actually obesity is genetics

Muscle mass is the key. Skinny people and fat people with little muscle struggle in cold.

Of course, subcutaneous fat isn’t the only factor that affects humans’ temperature. If you are relatively fit and seem to "run hot," there’s an explanation for that: Muscle tissue generates heat, offering a different protection from the cold. If you’re relatively petite, not only does a low BMI heighten your response to cold, but so does your overall surface area. According to O’Brien, smaller people lose heat more quickly.
The combination of lower muscle mass and higher surface area in women provides some much-needed insight about the age-old stereotype that the female population is always cold (so next time the lady in your life asks for your jacket, don’t hesitate to hand it over).
But overall, which is better for handling cold weather, being slightly on the hefty side or thinner?
“We have a joke around here that the person who’s best-suited for cold is fit and fat,” O’Brien told PopSci.

Meh, this is a bit over stated. Both of my kids have August birthdays. It’s just hot in June and July pregnant or not.

Actually, obesity is math.
If you burn more energy than you consume, there is literally no way to be obese, genetics or not.
