Federal Funding Key To Success Of States' Obesity Prevention Programs

Not in a million years.

"States that received funding from two obesity prevention programs founded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention implemented more than twice as many obesity-prevention policy initiatives as states that did not receive funding, according to a study by researchers from RTI International.

The study, published in the January-February issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, compared the number of policies implemented by states that receive federal funding and those that do not."

Note not a single word about effectiveness.

Why? Because conventional diet approaches must fail which is why they do.

For explanations, see here, here, here, here, here and here.

Deception of the highest order, this article, IMHO.

Who is it from? A CDC study leveraged by RTI International.

RTI claims,

"Our staff of more than 2,800 provides research and technical expertise to governments and businesses in more than 40 countries in the areas of health and pharmaceuticals, education and training, surveys and statistics, advanced technology, international development, economic and social policy, energy and the environment, and laboratory and chemistry services."

IMHO, trust nothing from these folks.
