CNSNews.com - Obama Administration Using Stimulus Money to Encourage ‘Healthful Lifestyle Habits’: "(CNSNews.com) - The Health and Human Services Department plans to spend $650 million tax dollars encouraging Americans to develop 'healthful lifestyle habits.'
Healthy habits should be 'the natural first choice for Americans,' HHS said as it announced that $373 million in stimulus funds are now available for communities and tribes to spend on projects that increase physical activity, improve nutrition, decrease obesity, and reduce smoking in U.S. communities.
The $373 million for the “Communities Putting Prevention to Work” will be awarded through a competitive selection process.
“This initiative will make disease prevention and health promotion top priorities in states and communities across the country,” Sebelius said. “Preventing disease is vital as a strategy to improve our nation’s health and reduce health care costs.”"
