U.S. states to get "significant" obesity money

An even more significant mistake.

"The U.S. government plans to increase funding to battle obesity and views healthcare reform as an opportunity to encourage better eating habits, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Tuesday.

The Obama administration, as part of its economic stimulus package, will give states and local governments more money to control obesity, including investing in public transportation, Sebelius told an obesity conference in Washington.

She added that legislation in Congress to overhaul the $2.5 trillion healthcare industry could boost programs to get more fruits and vegetables into school lunches and encourage grocery stores to sell more fresh produce in poor communities.

'We finally have a plan,' Sebelius told the conference, which was sponsored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Washington."

Your plan stinks.

"She said most of $1 billion appropriated by Congress for disease prevention as part of the stimulus plan would go to a CDC-planned initiative to fight obesity, heart disease and other chronic conditions.

'A significant amount of the money will go to help states and communities attack obesity and other public health challenges,' Sebelius said."

Money wasted on furthering an approach that has failed, is failing and will continue to fail for all the same reasons.

A clear Einsteinian move of insanity.

This is what happens when sh*t for brains rules the governmental roost.
