Obesity contagious?

[IPorange]

Daily Express | UK News :: Obesity bug you can catch

Not to dispute the findings, but what took them so long to notice this virus? And how large of role does it really play?

p.s: if there is another thread on this, I looked fairly thoroughly and didn't see it. So deal with it.

I'm a nutrition major and exercise science minor so that's pretty interesting to me. But it's still not something a good diet and regular exercise couldn't fix. There's many other logical reasons why people are overweight. They don't need more excuses like a "virus" they didn't know about. Maybe it's just in the UK and Europe like the article says, cause I don't know of any overweight people who have a good diet and exercise that can't lose weight.

I guess personal responsibility just isn't cool.

everything's an "epidemic" nowadays, obesity, asthma, ADD.

personal responsibility is giving way to media induced hypochondria.

Take a pill without food and let it stay it in your system for 4-6 hours without eating, three times a day. Sugars and unhealthy fats must not be consumed while taking the pill.

I didn't even have to read the article to tell them how to fix it.

Please explain how someone can use personal responsibility to stop asthma.

Yea a "bug". Like to see how tough this "bug" is against a nutritious diet and regular exercise.
