Could our reaction to an image of an overweight or obese person affect how we perceive odor? A trio of researchers says yes. The researchers discovered that visual cues associated with overweight or obese people can influence one's sense of smell, and that the perceiver's body mass index matters, too. Participants with higher BMI tended to be more critical of heavier people, with higher-BMI participants giving scents a lower rating when scent samples were matched with an obese or overweight individual.

I am in a wheelchair and I get met with people trying to avoid the disabled persons smell everyday so this research sheds some light on the truth. Research helps us prove or disprove a theory and get a little closer to the truth. OL I am guessing you are from the south originally?
