Obesity Stealing Smoking Money

Interesting article in today’s New York Times regarding the fact that much of the anti-smoking money is not going toward obesity.

1 of 5 Americans smoke, but 1 of 3 is obese 2 of 3 are overweight. Therefore, simply by the numbers, obesity wins out.

What a shame that we have to spend $s when personal responsibility is all that is required. You can’t be THAT naive that pizza and chips are good for you and fruits and vegetables are not. It’s not brain surgery. It’s just common sense.

And at the VERY least, if you are going to eat pizza and chips, which, to be clear, is not my recommendation, then at least eat less of them.
