What Have I Missed?
September 19th, 2008
I’m out of town this weekend and have been incredibly busy at work, at school, with writing projects, with staring at political polls. So tell me, what did I miss? What awesome posts are out there that I absolutely need to read, that I neglected to post about, that we need to talk about? What was your favorite blog post of the week? Feel free to include a link and a quote in the comments, and let’s consider this an open thread, shall we?

Illinois legislators passed House Bill 1432, which requires insurance companies to provide treatment for anorexia and bulimia!!! Illinois is but the 17th state to pass such mental health parity laws, so go them.
I just watched this CBS video arguing that forcing fast-food restaurants to display caloric content on menus will help lower obesity rates:

(p.s. I hate the word ‘guestimate’ )
Great NYT article on how fat and health are not necessarily as tied together as the “war on obesity” people want us to believe:
