The sequestration should have been 10%. Perhaps, that number would force our government to cut the waste.

– The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to
study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians
are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high
public-health significance.”
Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Mass., has received two
grants administered by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute
of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to study the relationship
between sexual orientation and obesity.
“Obesity is one of the most critical public health issues affecting the U.S. today,” the description
of the grant reads. “Racial and socioeconomic disparities in the
determinants, distribution, and consequences of obesity are receiving
increasing attention.”
“[H]owever, one area that is only beginning to be recognized is the
striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation in obesity
disparities,” it states.
