Well, I really only have one thing to say -- duh.
Fat people not more jolly, says study
Fat people are not more jolly, according to a study that found obesity is strongly linked with depression and other mood disorders.
Whether obesity might cause these problems or is the result of them is not certain, and the research does not provide an answer, but there are theories to support both arguments.
Depression often causes people to abandon activities, and some medications used to treat mental illness can cause weight gain. On the other hand, obesity is often seen as a stigma and overweight people often are subject to teasing and other hurtful behaviour.
No! Really! Boy, here in weight-obsessed America, I would never have noticed that, "pleasingly plump" woman that I am, if someone hadn't told me.
