Nalezljiva debelost

Sila zanimiv (in dolg) članek o socialnih mrežah (ampak tistih pravih, v fizičnem svetu). Izkaže se, da so življenjske navade, npr. predebelost in kajenje, pa tudi splošna sreča precej nalezljiva zadeva (in zanimivo navade ne preskakujejo le med dvema znancema, ampak tudi preko posameznikov: če imajo naši prijatelji debele sodelavce, smo sami bolj izpostavljeni debelosti).

Najbolj pa mi je bil všeč stavek, ki lepo pade v večno debato med mano in mojo drago o pavšalnih prijateljstvih:

But Christakis and Fowler found that the happiest people in Framingham were those who had the most connections, even if the relationships weren’t necessarily deep ones.
