- Article: Forty per cent of children now suffer from food allergies [telegraph.co.uk]. Article is specific to Britain. But the question is why that many?
- Article: Charge the Large [Slate]. Lots of airlines are cracking down on fat people. Why? Because the airlines have made a business calculation: The wrath of passengers on whom these people encroach now exceeds the expected wrath of the fat people themselves. The cost of being nice to oversize fliers has become too high. Airlines are all coming to similar conclusions given similar economic pressures and what's feasible.
- Research: Men Might Have Biological Clocks, Too [NY Times]. Interesting. I wonder how this changes things, once this kind of knowledge becomes common place.
- Research: Kids Curb Marital Satisfaction [LiveScience]. Two thoughts. (1) If you mathematically "integrate" real happiness and/or real joy over the entire life of a person starting from when they did have the kid to when they die, how does having kids compare with not having kids? (2) I guess, this is why marrying somebody who is long-suffering is good; picky whiners who think they entitled are bad.
- Article: Ineligible Bachelors: Indian Men Living in U.S. Strike Out [WSJ]. If girls in the US are not what you are looking for, why not go back to the motherland to gain one? It turns out that the idea has already been floated around long ago. Now, due to the poor economy, American guys are perceived to have not as advantageous a circumstance or situation. Darn, eh?
- Article: Bringing up baby bilingually [Economist]. A study confirms the obvious. There is a demonstrated advantage for "crib" bilinguals -- those living in households where two languages are spoken routinely. Time to marry a non-American?
