Obesity Socially Contagious

New study "shows" being obese may be much more than stuffing your face. Apparently having an obese person in your life raises your chances. Now while I agree that there is a possibility that habits of other especially those close to us may rub off on us I also kinda feel that people are just looking for excuses. So what's you thoughts on this?

Meaning fat chicks are officially unattractive. 😄

But yeah, I has been said that as more people become obese, the more it will multiply among children as obese couples have the chances of having a child with an eating disorder.

Sad.

See that part I get and actually agree with but, apparently having a fat friend can even increase your chances of being obese and if it's the same sex friend it supposedly jumps to 71% more likely.😬

you might be inclined to eat more when you're out since your fat friend will order every appetiser on the menu, but i just cant see a direct cause/effect.

now post some nude pics

Or just get a high metabolism rate...geez, people.

or go to the gym.

or starve yourself

Hanging around people that are always eating will tempt you to eat with them. I don't though. I just get french fries. 😊

I'm addicted to those things.

I'm a cheap date...

Just become one of those people who says "Oh, dear me...I simply cannot gain weight!" that fat people want to blow away with a bazooka.

We're going to Big-ass-size it. The goal is a mountain of french fries so high, we can swim in it.

fois a deux refers to the nature of psychological disorders to eventually be shared between people. It is pretty common, for instance, that if you marry someone with a phobia or OCD that you will develop that condition to some small degree.

Obesity is, more often than not, a symptom of an eating disorder.

1+1=?

I want the super deluxe! And I'll eat yours too. 😎

Why does that sound pervereted?

And the thing about the obesity...obviously true.

I never listened to The Prodigy until my best friend said he liked it...I listened to it one time...I then loved them. I think his liking them influenced me to like The Prodigy...either that or Hardcore Techno is just something I didn't know about and I would have liked it anyway....

I dunno...I guess I agree that it all comes down to will power...

I can see how having obese parents can lead to their children being obese too, but blaming your greasy fat gut & ass on your fat peers? Sounds like an excuse.

I really do hate h ow all these people use the whole "I am proud of my body" excuse to eat whatever the hell you want. I see them as a bunch of unhealthy f'tards.
