Thunder thighs are contagious!

According to the latest news, simply associating with fat people can make you fat yourself.

Friends of obese people were 57 percent more likely to gain weight, U.S. researchers found. The risk was 40 percent for siblings and 37 percent for spouses. Neighbors outside the person's social network weren't affected.

Apparently, knowing fat people makes you think that being fat is acceptable, which makes it more likely that you'll pack on the pounds. We are told that this makes obesity as much a "social problem" as a medical one. Uh oh. Well, if it's a contagious social problem, it sounds like a job for that champion of society, government!

I'm predicting mandatory weigh stations on street corners within ten years.
