"Is obesity 'caught' like a virus?"?!


Question: "Is obesity 'caught' like a virus.?".?
That's a question on Yahoo!'s front page today. They really will seize on any excuse so that no one has to take any personal responsibility for things, won't they.? I'm overweight, and I know what I need to do. I admit that it's difficult to do, but that doesn't make it a virus, or even a disease, for that matter. It's root is a set of habits that become very hard to break. I hereby take responsibility for mine. Who's with me.?Health Question & Answer

Sure it is. You catch it from donuts, and candy bars, and Frosted Flakes.

Eh... I'm with you. People really will seize on any excuse just so they don't have to admit fault (or so they can sue someone).Health Question & Answer

You make a good point...

Certain scientific groups will do any study they can, no matter how stupid question is or how obvious the answer is.

Of course obesity isn't contagious - being overweight is not a disease. You might be influenced by someone else's bad habits, but that's not quite the same thing. The whole study is utterly ridiculous, if you ask me.Health Question & Answer

That's like Denny Crane on Boston Legal who fired a girl for being too fat because he didn't want to catch it.

I agree with you. Everyone's responsible for themselves!Health Question & Answer
