Stuffing the pie hole and not exercising has always caused obesity.

Um, you mean like catching a package of Twinkies that's tossed your way? Surely, over-eating (or eating the wrong stuff) must have something to do with it.

How can this be? I thought the rule was starve a cold and feed a fever? I guess no one is at fault for anything, unless you're a conservative or a Tobacco company.

The nearly simultaneous increase in obesity in most countries is difficult to explain by changes in food intake and exercise alone
Well DUH! ROFL! But viral it ain't, and you can't count "feed a cold" LOL! This has got to take the cake for contrived reasoning for research dollars. Talk about "make work" work!

I guess that in some countries, the virus is more contagious than others.

Obesity 'can be caught like a cold'How about anorexia? 
To: blam
Well it looks we have solved world famine. Just distribute the virus and people will plump up. Because of course being fat has nothing to do with how much food you eat.

When the source is Russia or the UK, it's usually trash science. They almost make the US media look credible.
A cure for the common obesity cold?
I'm never shaking hands with an obese person again without immediately washing my hands and arms.

I'm not obese, but I do have 20 or 30 lbs I would like to lose.
I didn't "catch" it from anyone. I sit at a PC all day at work and at home.
Maybe I should suit FR and National Instruments.
