Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat 693
Xemu writes "Having fat friends makes you fat, researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California says after after examining 12,067 individuals and 38,611 of their relatives and friends. In same-sex friendships, people were 71 per cent more likely to put on weight if a friend of theirs became obese. "It's not that obese or non-obese people simply find other similar people to hang out with. Rather, there is a direct, causal relationship," says Harvard professor Nicholas Christakis."

How much do you want to bet that nearly every person upset by the GP is either fat or fucking someone fat?

I'm not worried, because I have a plan. When the fat people come and try to crush me, I'm heading to the nearest stairwell. I'll go up one, maybe two, or even three floors. 30 minutes later, when the fat people have made it to the top of the stairs and caught their breath again, I'll have had time to set a buffet table to draw them off my trail. Finally, I'll go wait out the attack in the perfect hiding place, somewhere it'd never occur to them to go in a million years: the gym.
The whole thing will probably unfold much like a zombie film, only in slow motion and with more labored breathing but approximately the same amount of grunting and moaning.
