“The agency is particularly needed in New Jersey”

A bit of editorializing by the AP eh?

[Sleeping Beauty]

Get this — New Jersey is going to try to require health insurers to cover “obesity surgery.”

There go the rates. Up, up, up.

Well fed liberals hardest hit.

[hunter112]

New Jersey's health department is escalating the battle against the bulge by starting a new Office of Nutrition and Fitness to better coordinate programs aimed at preventing obesity.

Ah, so that was the problem, the programs weren't coordinated properly. How could they have been so blind?

Actually, maybe if the pizza on this coast didn't taste so damned good...

When the efforts to nag people to drop the Chalupa doesn't work, and we all know it won't, what's the next step?

Possibilities abound -- the only thing we can be sure of is that the next step will involve a lucrative new revenue stream for the State.

The Garden State has the highest percentage of overweight and obese children under age 5, at 17.7 percent, according to a 2004 survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. New Jersey also has many black and Latino youth, who are more likely to be overweight than white kids.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have never met a fat homeschooler who has been homeschooled from the beginning. I can’t even remember meeting a chubby one.

No knock refrigerator raids, of course.

[SteamShovel]

If a fat person applies for a job with the agency, will they be discriminated against??

I'd love to see that lawsuit, especially since it is now a sport to bring down private employers for their preferences in hiring.

[GSWarrior]

The Garden State has the highest percentage of overweight and obese children under age 5, at 17.7 percent,

Of course, these are just round figures...

[383rr]

How long have we been saying this would happen?

You and I both know a “BIG FOOD” MSA is the next logical step.

[metesky]

The agency is particularly needed in New Jersey — possibly the first state to create such a government body.

See, the problem is, Eric, that too many Jersyites are getting oput of New Jersy's many second rate schools with degrees in nutrition and phys ed. What else are these useless eaters supposed to do unless the omnipotent state creates a no-heavy-lifting job for each and every one of them.
