You're Fat Because of the Obesity Bug
 

Scientists have now suggested that a new bug is going around that can cause you to gain fat. The name of the virus is AD-36, but they are terming it The Obesity Bug

Conjunctivitis, diarrhea, coughs, and sore throats have been found to be associated with the virus. However it's been found that it also causes fat cells to divide and cause weight gain.

  I can hear it now  
 I don't have the Obesity Bug.
I have the Big Boned Bug.

  They also found  
 that the bug disables in carriers all ability to take personal responsibility for themselves and their actions.

  Ah!  
 The Karl Rove virus. 
 by: VermiciousG     01/27/2009 06:05 PM     
  No  
 I used to weigh 250 pounds (lost 45/50 last year) because of a compulsive eating problem, stress, and being lazy! 
 by: Jediman3     01/27/2009 06:14 PM     
  @Jediman  
 NO...you weren't lazy. You had the Obesity Bug...didn't you hear? And your body must have just fought it off.

Seriously, you're not listening at all. You had the BUG...it was not a lifestyle choice that got you there.


(Congratulations!!!)

  Hey, good for you Jediman!  
 Very cool!

 There was a lot more you could have added in this article. 
 by: jOnO_oRiGiNaL     01/27/2009 08:40 PM     
  I got this!  
 Last year I was at 5% body fat and I ate whatever I wanted, partied every night, watched tv and played videos game.

Then I turned 25 and got a "real job" and all of a sudden I gain 30 pounds... I swear I got the Obesity bug!

 It isn't that we over eat and don't exercise I knew it was a bug that makes me put on weight it cannot have been the lack of motivation and want to be healthy that did it it had to be the bug ( sigh of relief) ( reaches for another muffin gobble gobble)! 
 by: sleeky     01/28/2009 01:48 AM

 There's some guy named Ahab looking for you. He looks old and tired. The harpoon looks new, though. Sharp, too.

  @white albino  
 He can never get rid of me, there are a billion people just like me..

  @teh_epic  
 At 5% body fat, I doubt you'd be able to party all night - you'd have to be suffering from an eating disorder or some sort of degenerative disease to have such low body fat. I wouldn't think you'd have the energy to party and you certainly couldn't eat whatever you liked and maintain such a low amount of fat (unless you were bulimic).

 I know I could have added a lot more to it. But I left it at that for the sheer shock value. Although, I meant to quote the source in the second paragraph.

  @Tabby  
 I was training for professional cage fighting at the time. Probably used to spend about 20 hours or more a week in the gym. I doubt I got the Obesity bug, it was more like the Laziness bug. Or possibly even the Depression bug. I quit being so active after I lost my job and was unemployed for a few months.

 Don't worry about jono. He's moody because of his thyroid problem. LOL

  millions of dollars in research...  
 and this is the best explanation why people are fat?

 I hate the country I live in, sometimes.

  @Jono  
 What else is there to put? It got straight to the point. No need to give a bad assessment for it. =/
