Lighter side
I’m at a loss. For months, we’ve read about how having overweight friends leads to eating more and gaining weight ourselves because we tend to feast like our buddies. But now, according to the February Eat-Right Flash [pate 82], we pig out when we dine with our slim friends, too! I’m sure people are more prone to emotional eating when they’re chowing down alone, so I’ve got to ask: Who can I dine with and not gain weight?

LOL, the joke would be on you! LOL, eat your friends!
