Health at Every Size.
Another modest proposal: Stop the federal corn subsidies that have created a glut of corn products in our food supply. (Hello corn syrup!) Use the money to support small farms, instead. Lots of small farms = greater food security, better quality food and less dependency of fossil fuel for production.
Less corn = less obesity = lower costs for health care.
See Michael Pollan's Ominvore's Dilemma for details.

(I hope this lady stays far, far away from any kind of public budget decisions... )

Right-Wing Think Tank: Polar Bears Love to Swim.

Constantine has every right to call them out for their refusal to incorporate actual science into their conclusions.
