Feds Spent $430,608 to Get Mothers to Dance With Their Daughters
8th July 2014
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent nearly $500,000 to study how getting mothers to dance with their daughters can fight obesity.
The three-year study is focusing on African-American girls, who the authors say “suffer disproportionately from obesity.” The aim of the research is to see whether “Afro-centric” dance can get girls to exercise.
For that money they could have sent them to Africa to learn the real thing.
Remind me how it’s the Federal government’s business to worry about whether people are obese…?
