And nobody has said to avoid improving one's lifestyle/eating habits because their genes will out-gun them anyway.
Just as genetics is not "everything" to disease acquisition or not, neither is dietary intake and exercise "everything" to preventing it.

In a recent discussion, which you took part in, there were one or two comments stating that "it's all genetic", and no one replied to it. No one challenged it. So I wondered if perhaps everyone was in agreement with it.
Rather than make it something between me and the poster(s) I thought I would open it up to all those who might be interested.
