Discover Magazine reports that a recent study indicates that if you are dining with an overweight person (or someone wearing a “fat suit” to make the study “scientific”), you are more likely to eat more food, and less likely to eat healthy salad.

3 Questions That Arise From This Story

3. How many hamburgers are being stolen when people are distracted by a person in a fake fat suit? Only the Hamburglar knows.
