Obesity is apparently contagious and other feebleness around the skinny-sphere

• Don't hang out too much with that obese friend of yours because you'll catch "it" and get fat too because obesity can spread like a virus according to a study done at Harvard Medical and published in the New England Journal of Medicine. When one person is obese in a social circle, others in that circle get fat too. It's like catching a virus they deducted. The study insinuates that "the way to avoid becoming fat is to avoid having fat friends." Oh for crying out loud! This is the kind of stuff they research at Harvard? [FitSugar]

You really want to put this stuff in your body? [WVSR via Shrinking Natala "10 reasons why I'll never eat fast food again"]
