There’s this research study that’s been showing up lately. It’s about how having fat friends increases your chances of being fat.
Here’s a news articles about the study:Find Yourself Packing it On? Blame Friends (New York Times)
So was your initial reaction same as mine? I thought it was just so plainly obvious… a study of which was completely unnecessary. I mean seriously, all it boils down to how your friends influence(s) your behavior. And there’s no good reason why this doesn’t include lifestyle decisions that influence obesity. Did we really need a research study to figure this out? A little more common sense would have saved loads of research dollars (or perhaps pounds would be more appropriate in this case…)
So go find yourself some skinny friends! Maybe they will make you skinnier. That is if you care about that sort of stuff. I don’t particularly care… but I guess my opinion doesn’t carry too much “weight” on this issue.
