Re: Obesity found to spread socially (July 25):

But “It’s im­por­tant to re­mem­ber,” Fowl­er said, “that we’ve not only shown that obes­ity is con­ta­gious but that thin­ness is con­ta­gious.”

I may not be a scientist but wouldn’t another ways to explain this is “birds of a feather flock together”? I’ve never lost a single pound sitting in the break room with the skinny people and none of them have gained weight sitting with us.
