RWJF generally funds crap with millions of misdirected dollars based on the conventional stupidity and a completely propagandized sense of right and wrong.
Clearly it is an organization with too much money and too few brain cells.
However, in this instance they had the good sense to contribute only $10 towards the establishment of another doomed to fail weight weight loss undertaking.
"Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has received a four-year, $10 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to establish the Institute for Food, Nutrition and Health, on its George H. Cook Campus.
Rutgers President Richard L. McCormick announced his intention to establish the new institute during his Annual Address to the University Community on Sept. 19. In that address, McCormick made it clear the new institute would focus on obesity and its associated diseases, and would 'ask and answer questions such as these: Why are young children developing health problems normally associated with overweight adults? How can we teach portion control and motivate healthier lifestyles? What are the best low-calorie diets to keep children lean? How can we help communities serve those who are most at risk?'"
Oh, it's "$10 million" and Rutgers own press release has a typo.
Bummer.
Too bad.
So much for the sudden attack of good sense by RWJF.
I can dream can't I?
