Immigrants adopting American diets, to their detriment
NZ Herald: Immigrants to the United States often ditch their ethnic diets for high-calorie American fare, partly because it is cheap and easy to find but also as a way to fit in, a new study shows. Immigrants who eat American are consuming, on average, 182 extra calories and seven additional grams of saturated fat compared to immigrants who stick to their traditional diet, leaving the fast-food immigrants more likely to become obese and suffer chronic illnesses related to obesity.

Los inmigrantes recurren a la comida basura para integrarse en EEUU
Yahoo Espana: Numerosos extranjeros que viven en Estados Unidos han adoptado la hipercalórica cocina estadounidense en parte debido a que tiene buenos precios y es fácil de conseguir, pero también porque es una manera de demostrar su integración al país adoptivo, según un estudio. Los inmigrantes que se alimentan con comida estadounidense consumen de media 187 calorías y 7 gramos de grasas saturadas más de lo que consumirían si se alimentaran siguiendo su propia gastronomía y se exponen por tanto a sufrir obesidad o sobrepeso tanto como los dos tercios de la población norteamericana, según un estudio publicado en la revista Psychological Science de junio.

Why Powerful Men (Like Arnold) Cheat
Fox News: Another day, another political sex scandal. This time, it's former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger acknowledging this week that he fathered a child with a member of his household staff more than a decade ago. And while psychologists and the public alike may not be surprised, we still wonder why he strayed. Experts say power gives men (and women) greater opportunity to stray and the overconfidence to think they'll get away with it. Read more: Fox News

Nice Guys Finish First
The New York Times: The story of evolution, we have been told, is the story of the survival of the fittest. The strong eat the weak. The creatures that adapt to the environment pass on their selfish genes. Those that do not become extinct. In this telling, we humans are like all other animals — deeply and thoroughly selfish. We spend our time trying to maximize our outcomes — competing for status, wealth and mating opportunities. Behavior that seems altruistic is really self-interest in disguise. Charity and fellowship are the cultural drapery atop the iron logic of nature. All this is partially true, of course.
