Wow, fat people are contagious and why that's a good thing?

In another of those fascinating research studies just reported in the New England Medical Journal, it was reported that if you hang out with fat people you stand a good chance of becoming fat yourself!

When I read the reports of this study I rejoiced!

This study went on to say that if your best friend was fat, then you had a 50 percent increase in the chances of you becoming fat. So why does this make me happy?

It's not because my friends are all skinny. No, I have a few chubby friends who I really like. It's because it reminds me of the importance of who you allow to become your friends.

Obviously, this goes beyond obesity in terms of what is contagious. There must be many positive attributes you pick up from the people you associate with. I'm thinking if you hang out with really nice positive friends then you will become a nicer more optimistic person yourself. Phew, good thing I already have incredible friends!

And of prime importance to Eduardo is that I have a fun life, and guess what my friends are quite happy people as well (some are even a little saner than me, so maybe that will rub off on me).

As well what we read must contagious! So I'm betting that if you are a regular visitor I've probably infected you with some of my brand of happiness? Scary huh?
