    fat friends make you fat?

    http://science.slashdot.org/article....28207&from=rss

    according to the article mentioned here, fat friends make you fat....i'd have to say that that deals more with you associate with people that have the same lifestyle as you, aka go out and eat instead of go out play a sport or hit the gym....any opinions...im SURE someone has an opinion...

    wich came first? getting a fat friend, and getting fat....or getting fat and finding more fat friends to make you not feel so bad??? chicken, egg....egg, chicken????

    hmm, my best friend for the last 20 years is a lard ass and I'm 10%bf. he briefly tried working out, and couldn't hang, but we're still friends.

    any ideas how these conclusions were made tho....i mean there has to be some validity to the study....but is there anything you think was not considered?

    people who are easily influenced by others and have no aspirations they are truly driven to accomplish

    well you might get fat if all your friends are fat and you only hang out with them, but if its only 1 or 2 fat friends and the rest are average then i dont see how these 2 fatties can change you.

    my best friend is chubby-- i try to get her to work out but there is no way. she knows how i feel about the subject so i don't ever feel bad about eating super healthy around her/ wearing tighter clothes ect...... some people just don't really care about being in shape-- to each his own....

    well i would say most of us in here are not like the common person as far as eating and stuff like that goes, people who do not watch their fitness much i can understand this, you get a friend who is fat or who becomes fat and gradually their habits become your habits.

    Just another reason to give people an excuse for being fat and lazy as shit.

    Typical scapegoat BS.
