The evolutionist Erasmus Darwin was the grandfather of Charles Darwin and like PZ Myers and the leadership of the New Atheist movement he was not particularly good at applied biology. An article entitled Darwinism declares: "His love of food (particularly fruits, sugar, cream and butter) was matched by his dislike of exercise, and by the age of 46 he had grown so corpulent that a semi-circle had to be cut out of his dining table to accommodate his girth at meal times."
