badriyaz asked, "Did you see the Boston Globe article from a couple of days ago about how all Puerto Ricans in the Greater Boston area are depressed?"

I sure did, but that was all about the marginalized, poor, uneducated, isolated, fat, diabetic ones. I'd be depressed, too!

Okay, now that I'm done being flip... The article had a very common defect in it. Regarding the fellow who was fat, but neither diabetic nor really depressed: The writer mentioned that he decided to change his ways, because he knew he was "genetically predisposed" to those conditions. The entire previous discussion centered around the social and economic reasons for the poor health habits (diet, psychological, physical) that can lead to illness -- first, below the neck, and then, consequently, in the brain -- in Boston-area Puerto Ricans, whether or not certain illnesses are observed to occur more frequently in a control group of social, solvent, and exercising spics (No such information was offered.). It's a correllation vs. causation thing.
