Did you know a person’s odds of becoming obese (in otherwords, fat) increase by their social contact with others who are obese as well ?
Studies have found obesity spreads like a virus. Weight gain has a stunning infection rate. If one person became obese, the likelihood that his friend would follow suit increased by 171 percent.
Having an obese spouse raises the risk of becoming obese by 37 percent.
Lean individuals surrounded by obesity were rare.
