Childhood obesity study

A few months ago we embarked on an interesting project at CRSSA where we are helping look at urban patterns of childhood obesity. The spatial analysis will compare patterns of incidence of childhood obesity with environmental factors. This project is being supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I mention it because it is the reason that I expect to be posting more obesity-related links, and I have created a new "obesity" tag for these posts. Stay tuned.

And Rutgers' Harriet Worobey was in today's NY Times talking about healthier eating for kids.
