Default Tax Dollars at Work

Fascinating Federally subsidized study that concludes:

Quote:
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have come to several conclusions since studying “the striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation in obesity disparities,” which is slated to last until 2016.

They have determined that gay and bisexual males had a “greater desire for toned muscles” than straight men, lesbians have lower “athletic self-esteem” that may lead to higher rates of obesity, and that lesbians are more likely to see themselves at a healthy weight even though they are not, the Free Beacon reported.

And at a measly $3 million dollar cost. Surely money better spent than say providing 120 seniors $25K/year in SS payments or perhaps providing the VA an additional 15 doctors.

Whoever sponsored this study and all the 'researchers' who were paid should be ashamed of themselves.
