New York Knicks guard JR Smith posed a question today on Twitter that may be merely a social stigma, or perhaps might be the social media equivalent of the chicken and the egg.
The idea that merely following a company—known for making products that are unhealthy and may be conducive (especially when eaten without moderation) to obesity and health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes—could make a person fat should seem silly.
And, quite frankly, it was probably said in jest.
Nevertheless, the question has been posed, and therefore it is up for debate as to whether or not a person’s Twitter follow habits are truly indicative of their lifestyle, their health, well-being or mental disposition.
Below are a few of the responses that Smith got on Twitter.
@magicfan2301 has a point, eating McDonald’s can make you fat—if eaten too often—but following a particular brand of food goods, fast food or restaurant does not inherently mean that a person is fat…unless it is a clear indication of the persons’ typical day-to-day eating patterns, in which case, they might be.
