Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat

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."

I helped staff a convention for the Texas Association for School Nutrition (The Lunch Lady Club), and by god, those were some of the ugliest, fattest women I'd ever seen. Not a single woman under 200 pounds, I swear. We sold Tshirts and I was shocked to find out that they stocked almost entirely 4XL tshirts, and less than 10 mediums (for a convention of 2500 people). They tended to roam about with other women from their local TASN chapter, and within their band of heffers, they all seemed to be roughly the same circumference, as if one of them had gotten that large, so the others decided it was ok to let themselves to That Much More.
 
Suprisingly clean and stink-free, though.

Yea, blame it on your fat friends...

not your own weak constition that can't handle not eating like a pig. More of the typical lack of responsibility for one's own actions. Move on nothing to see here.

Really? Just as many hangups? Sure, in grade school maybe they get called names. But I don't think they get the same level of societal disrespect throughout life that fat women get. Now, obese people in general aren't attractive and a skinny girl with wide hips, a round ass and big tits can be quite attractive. For me, it's shape, not size. And like you, the face is important. But honestly, personality trumps all in my book. I've only fucked one pretty but vapid girl, and the horror of having to hear her talk after I fucked her put me off stupid people for life, no matter how attractive they are. Then there's Republicans, I would never fuck a Republican even if she were a nymphomaniac supermodel double jointed gymnast.

As for me being rude, you know it's Troll Thursday today, right? Everyone should make one troll post on Thursdays, it's an old Slashdot tradition.
