"We" the humanity. Of course, those in certain positions have more power than others to make a change.
I don't know if reseting the "lipostat" is much more than a bandage on a bullet wound. Yes, it's better to have it, and it's a step in a good direction. But I'm skeptical it will be the ultimate solution. The way we're polluting our environments have other negative externalities, too. Now it's the obesity epidemic, coming right up is the infertility crisis, and I don't feel confident we won't have a cancer epidemic next.
I'm not against pharmaceutical progress and shaping our bodies to fit our world more. We've certainly caused a lot of evolutionary pressures for ourselves in the last few hundred years. But maybe it would be healthier on an individual level to just move to a region less touched by industrial pollution.
