Obesity can be "caught" as easily as a common cold from other people's coughs, sneezes and dirty hands, scientists said Monday.

The condition has been linked to a highly-infectious virus which causes sniffles and sore throats.

Nikhil Dhurandhar, an associate professor at The Pennington Biomedical Research Center, in Baton Rouge, La., said the virus, known as AD-36, infects the lungs then whisks around the body, forcing fat cells to multiply and also causing sore throats.

"When this virus goes to fat tissue it replicates, making more copies of itself and in the process increases the number of new fat cells, which may explain why the fat tissue expands and why people get fat when they are infected with this virus," Dhurandhar said.

And the 12 big mac's per day had nothing to do with it.

This is about the dumbest shit I have ever seen.

Yet another disease has been discovered.

So....a bro can "catch a fat". Wow....and of course this disease seems to be located in this country more than any other. Weird.

PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO FUCKING LAZY. They always want to blame their laziness on something else. Just another god damn excuse.

HORSE SHIT

It's just another excuse for the 'it's not my fault' generation.

"It's not my fault" I ate 2 gallons of ice cream at lunch.

I used to run into women with this disease a lot, usually, right around or right after last call....course, I didn't realize they were infected until the next day...

I can't believe I didn't catch this when I got off active duty and went back to the University of Maryland! The fat chicks were so happy to see me coming....

The great thing is that the healthcare plan for it is somewhere between free and nothing else. You go for a run to combat your disease.

Or maybe we can create more government positions and have a "Fat Czar" who can place sodas, fried food, sugar and empty carbs on the illegal drug list. Maybe DEA can go burn down sugar cane fields and arrest the Pepsi leadership for "manufacturing and possession with intent to distribute". The operation will be called "GWOFF"...Global War On Fat Fucks.

I fucking hate fat asses.

"People could be fat for reasons other than viral infections.."

Ya' think!?..

I don't know about them catching "A fat", but I saw plenty who caught some fatties.....

So can one presume that if some skinny/boney person sneezes on you you will loose weight?

Might be the next diet fad or send the obese to the Mog!
