A co-worker making you fat?

In the article Co-worker is making me fat(ter) in The Daily Batesville Guard. Coworker Debbie Wetzel was the co-worker supposedly making them fat because she was selling chocolate for her daughters school. As it saying in the article, 'A couple of weeks ago Debbie showed up with candy bars and not just candy bars --- the really good ones that have caramel in the middle. She is selling them for her daughters school.' It reminds me of the old childhood story your parents would tell you before bed called Hansel and Gretel where they would be left in the woods and a witch would try to fatten them up.
