Evolution doesn't work like it used to for us. If the obese individual still reproduces as much as the person with this mutation does, there's no evolutionary advantage.

Maybe not but Nurse-Robots observation is correct .. Evolution does NOT work good/bad it works on selection pressure, so the tiny number of people with the genes you talk of would need to breed VASTLY more than those without

SO

What the selection pressure to allow that to occur? If not then no the genes wont spread
