Epidemics of our lives

NYT: Are Your Friends Making You Fat?
Study shows that health, weight gain/loss, smoking, drinking, having a family and being happy are contageous. What I liked most about the article is the idea that you have a responsibility to be the best you can be for your larger community which will then be heavily influenced by your healthy, thin, non-smoking happiness. Sadly, selecting friends who have the qualities you desire doesn't seem to make a difference.
