LOL, maybe the government should stop subsidizing food production... New Law Seeks to Reduce Obesity abclocal.go.com (Albany-AP, September 21, 2002) — Low fat New Yorkers might be healthier for the state budget. This week, the governor signed the Obesity Prevention Act into law. It asks the Health Department to find ways to help New Yorkers get healthier, reduce obesity and the cost to the state. Officials say two out of every ten New Yorkers -- more than three million people -- are obese. It's the second leading cause of preventable death after smoking, and causes illnesses from diabetes to some cancers. The American Obesity Association says the cost of obesity to public health systems across the nation is 100 (b) billion dollars a year. Fifteen other states have passed legislation on everything from childhood obesity to health awareness campaigns. The state Health Department is expected to report its findings next June. Then legislators will put together a plan to help New Yorkers deal with their expanding waist lines. (Copyright 2002 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) Last Updated: Sep 21, 2002
