Weight-related diseases are generally not communicable, and are certainly not airborne.
My risk of vehicular injury is not increased by being around you, even if you are a bad driver.
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoActually, iirc there are studies showing people are more likely to be obese if the people around them are obese. So obesity seems to be communicable in some sense. As for driving you are of course wrong, other bad drivers can affect your health.
- ben_w 5y agoI’d expect proximity to correlate regardless of the cause — environmental, memes, lifestyle, pathogens, etc. Are there any studies on causation?
- kkjjkgjjgg 5y agoWould be interesting, but I don't really know the whole extent of that research atm.
- quantified 5y agoPart of being bad is being more dangerous to others- how solid are your stats?
