Obesity spreads through social networks


一口氣列了三則講述同一件事的文章在旁邊的 A-log 裡，想想胖的人真可憐，每天被排山倒海的資訊灌輸肥胖有害健康已經夠慘了，三不五時多多少少還會被社會岐視，被貼上自制能力薄弱的標籤，坐飛機時發現你要坐在他旁邊也常被白眼，認為你讓小小的座位變得更為擁擠，現在可好，知名的哈佛醫學院研究指出，跟胖子做朋友也比較容易會發胖！

A new study finds that having an obese friend makes a person 57 percent more likely to develop a bulging waistline too. The effect was strongest for close friends but also occurred if friends of friends—or even their friends—gained weight.

而且你看，不止朋友，連跟有胖子朋友的人做朋友都會受影響；這下胖的人連交朋友都有麻煩了。真慘吶！嗚呼。
