Your home / work environment's affect on you

posted: Aug 29, 2003 2:11:18 PM

I just read an interesting article about how community / suburban / urban design can be seen to have affect on individuals' weight and health, Study links community sprawl to fat. This seems to match some of the themes of Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point.

Since I am working now in a large company with lots of buildings and cubicles, I have been thinking about how the layout of office space affects how people work. I am sure some interesting studies could be done . . .

Also - if you look at the types of establishments that crop up in suburban situations - mostly fast-food restaurants vs. what you see in cities (very few), it seems to me that cities have more healthy eating choices too.
