We may have presets but we also have a game of free will. Conscious choice. Even demons can be epigenetic.
Diet, be it poor or healthy, can so alter the nature of one's DNA that those changes can be passed on to the progeny. While this much has been speculated for years, researchers in two independent studies have found ways in which this likely is happening.
The findings, which involve epigenetics, may help explain the increased genetic risk that children face compared to their parents for diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
The punch line is that your poor dietary habits may be dooming your progeny, despite how healthy they will try to eat.
Well, yes, the door swings both ways! I wouldn't personally go so far as to say that we are "doomed" based on what our grandparents ate. On the other hand, we are seeing all these "new" diseases in children whose grandparents and great-grandparents were the first generation to eat a chemical diet.
At any rate, I was delightfully surprised to find a mainstream media outlet talking about this at all!

Yes, bacteria outnumber human cells 9:1! Kind of makes one rethink our concept of identity. Even on a physical basis, are we really a singular entity, or a collective? And what happens to our health when we act in disregard to the other lifeforms which are part of our bodies?

I've been wondering how much of that genetic tinkering they referred to had to do with introducing different bacterial strains into our guts, along with changes to our diet. The introduction of large amounts of grains is highly suspect to me on account of how grains have become so closely interwoven with our cultural mythology, and even in modern times so heavily pushed on us by the "authorities".
I also have strong suspicions that grains have been leveraged as a manipulative chip in the 6000-year-old meat-eating vs vegetarian debate. Arguably, the mass cultivation and consumption of grains is at least as damaging to the health of our bodies and the planet as farming/eating large quantities of meat.
Assuming these were evolved beings giving us these new agricultural practices and dietary guidelines, then they should have known that the foundation of a healthy human diet, whether vegetarian or not, is dark leafy greens.

You're welcome!
