Study: People found unattractive if they stand next to obese friends

FORT LAUDERDALE (AP) — While it is no surprise that people often have a low
opinion of the overweight, a new study finds that just standing next to a
large person can be bad for one's image.

Now this is pure nonsense! The only thing unattractive about standing
next to a fat hog is that they might eat you, or fall on you and crush
you.
