Some FOOD for thought.......

so obviously i'm bored at work today and people watching in the office as well as the cafeteria/breakrooms and am really noticing how many fat or obese individuals there are in our normal lives we are surrounded by and a thought came to mind......if you can get a contact buzz from marijuana, can you get "contact fat" from breathing the air that's been made by fried foods?.....i was thinking back to a time when i had a roommate that would use the presto deep fryer daily for most meals he and his girlfriend ate and the air in the house became dense and you'd get that film on your skin like if you ever worked at a chain restaurant kitchen before and begin to feel like shit.......so the question is can the air created by frying actually get in your systems and make us fat or spike our cholesterol counts?
