President Obama Urged To Prioritize Physical Activity

Morons loudly weighing in.

"More than 30 national medical, scientific, and health and fitness organizations today urged President Obama to give physical activity a heightened focus on the nation's health care agenda.

The call to action cited the powerful effects that physical activity has on reducing long-term health care costs."

This is, of course, a stadium-load of crap as exercise is a terribly inefficient way to lose weight.

"Physical activity is a viable, inexpensive way to combat these numerous preventable health problems, including heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, stroke, osteoporosis, depression and anxiety, breast cancer, and falls among older adults."

Actually, the inefficiency of exercise puts the lie to the suggestion that it is "a viable, inexpensive way to combat these numerous preventable health problems."

The reality is that it is impractical, making it non-viable for an awful lot of people.

Prioritize means to "assign a priority to."

As long as it is a distant second to controlling Calories in, prioritize away.
