Researchers at Harvard University predict if our friends become obese, we are half as likely to become obese as well. They also state 42% of Americans will be considered obese (over the course of 20 years that is). Believing this increase your chance of it being true, exercising your will power and controlling your taste buds won’t. Research and doctors can state their findings and give a prognosis of death all they want. Ultimately, the way we look and feel is our doing. This study goes on to say, ” obesity can spread like an infectious disease and people can catch it from their friends.” When and where does the brainwashing end?

In conclusion, they believe befriending only thin people does not guarantee you’ll be thin. This practically goes against what the study showed, which is correct? Apparently, it seems that unless fat friends lose weight together (or remain obese), nothing will change. If anyone buys into this, then yes, they’ve lost half the battle and they will be the ones half as likely to become obese.
