My family members are fat because we share the same fucking genes. My friends are disproportionately likely to be fat for three reasons:
1) A lot of thin people are abusive and shitty toward fat people, and that's really not what I'm looking for in a friendship, thanks.
2) The eating-disordered subset of thin people tend to be almost visibly distressed by fat people, and therefore they don't want to be friends with me.
3) As a fellow fat person, I'm less likely to judge other fat people, and more likely to reach out to them socially. We have something in common.
But yeah, social contagion, lock up the fat people. Boo!
