Obesity Discussion in the New York Times!

So here's the scoop.

I was asked to write a brief piece for a column in the NY Times that is called Freakonomics. Freakonomics was a book written by two gentlemen who like to take issues you wouldn't normally associate with economics, and put an economic spin on it. They continue the discussion from the book in the NY Times website now.

So, that being said, I wrote a small piece on obesity that catered to what their column was trying to accomplish, which was taking a topic like obesity and putting an economic spin on it.
