Is obesity contagious?

Is obesity contagious?

A recent study has concluded that obesity may be spreading socially through friends and family. Researchers claim that friends of obese people are 57% more likely to become obese themselves.

What do you think? Is it possible for obesity to spread in this way?

    Now there's a thought, Mojo. If the inmates of z and Belson knew nothing else, they certainly knew how to lose weight and/or life.

    Funny, but I don't remember seeing many fat people until after rationing was finished in the 50's. But then, it could be the old memory playing up....

    A.Non is right.We should ask the people who were in Belsen and other concentration camps.

    The only way to fight this plague is to bring back rationing! A few mega food businesses may go down the pan but then so will the crap!
