Good points all... up to the part in the research where simply having an overweight relative some distance away is enough to make you fat. I agree completely on what happens among friends... hey, I'm proof at 57 pounds gone in the last 4-1/2 months.

However, I still have overweight parents (150 miles away), overweight relatives (spread all over the country), overweight friends (that I see on a regular basis), and overweight colleagues (that I see regularly). And I'm going the other way... just a statistical outlier that tells me that free will trumps most things.
