Your Waist - Move aside genetics! We have a new, younger, cooler reason to blame our obesity on. If your friends are fat, chances are you too will be going the way of the pig. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, friends of the obese are 57% more likely to gain weight. As Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School, told it to us straight:

What appears to be happening is that a person becoming obese most likely causes a change of norms about what counts as an appropriate body size. People come to think that it is okay to be bigger since those around them are bigger, and this sensibility spreads.

Along with the extra mayo and cheese. Fatties don’t see the benefits to being healthy. Healthy is defined as being in shape, and not the shape of a beach ball.

We should eat fat: people.
