I recently read a research article which said that people can actually
“catch” obesity from close friends. When we are with close friends who
are obese there are more chances of us being influenced by them and
becoming obese too. So when friends overeat we tend to follow their
lead.. Its not just their presence, even when friends are across the globe
there are possibilities to “catch” obesity over the phone.
P.S
It may work the other way round too. So ppl try hanging out with thin people and you might
lose weight. 🙂
