they can do no exercise and eat junk and still be fit because of good genes? I thought that whatever your genes are, you're still screwed if your lifestyle is unhealthy, but I look around and it seems this is not always true :/

Just because someone looks healthy does not mean they actually are. Genes play a role but lifestyle is the most important factor.

do not associate being skinny or lean with being healthy as they are not the same. skinny people can drop dead just the same as an overweight person and many do every day. just like someone that is lean (6-pack etc.) does not mean that they are healthy it just means that there body is efficient at metabolizing the nutrients that they are ingesting.
just like the old saying "don't judge a book by the cover" this also applies to people as well.

Garbage in, grabage out. The body is a temple that should be respected and dignified. Though genese play an important role, without maintaining our body and looking after it, genese can not fight laws of nature.

yeah genetics can help obviously if you got a family with history of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity then ur in some trouble with genetics, although that shouldnt get in the way of exercise, good eating and rest for good health!
