Dr. Oz, an Oprah regular, says NYC govt can help with obesity

The next attack on NYC?

Oz, whose diet program (together with Roizen) would rival the fare at Dachau, if their diet program fed dieters better, is on the move.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, a heart surgeon and Oprah regular, was at City Hall on Tuesday talking up government's role in the obesity crisis.

Unsuspecting or just plain stupid NYC politicos have invited this Trojan Horse into their midst.

Oz, a co-author of the best-selling "You: On a Diet" book, who makes regular appearances on Oprah Winfrey's talk show, joined several city councilmen to talk about getting New Yorkers to be healthier.

Probably stupid, since they cannot even act out of concern for their own good on their own initiative. Imagine how little regard they have for their constituents.

His mere presence on the steps of City Hall caused a number of lawmakers to make their own healthy promises.

The reason for his presence?

To set up diet terror cells, apparently.

Rivera is hoping to get more city funding for a number of health initiatives that address obesity, like the program that Oz founded known as HealthCorps.

Modeled after the Peace Corps program, HealthCorps pays recent college graduates a stipend to mentor students on diet, nutrition and exercise. It received crucial funding of about $250,000 from the City Council last year, Oz said.

RIP NYC.
