Feds Spend $246,070 Getting Kids to Stop ‘Emotional Eating’ by Meditating. Today’s government waste of money post.
The project, “Reducing Emotional Eating in Obese Low-Income Adolescents With Mindfulness-Based Behavioral Weight Management,” received $246,070 from taxpayers.
FEDS SPEND $429,220 TRACKING EYE MOVEMENTS OF LATINOS AT GROCERY STORES TO FIGHT OBESITY. They don’t want mamasita turning into big mama.
First it was $400,000 to study gay drinking and sex habits in Argentina. Then it was $2.6 million to study the drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes. And now they’re going to spend $117,000 to study the use of “party drugs” in Brazil.
CSNnews.com reports that, “The National Institutes of Health is studying the use of ecstasy, LSD and other ‘party drugs’ in Porto Alegre, Brazil, with a $117,876 investment from taxpayers. According to an NIH summary of the grant, ‘The topic is interesting and the data will be useful to understand the emerging problem of club drugs and raves in Brazil.’
Looks like college professors have figured out how to get the government to fund their kinky foreign vacations.
So we’re thinking of studying the sex habits of middle-aged men in Bora Bora. We figure it should cost about a quarter mil. Anybody know where to get the application forms?

This is one of those stories that’s so friggin’ unbelievable that our initial inclination was to think it was a joke.
Unfortunately, the joke’s on us.
Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:
“The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health, will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job. ‘The purpose of the project is to try and develop an intervention program targeting HIV risk and alcohol use,’ Dr. Xiaoming Li, the researcher conducting the program, told CNSNews.com. The grant, made last November, is one of several ‘international initiatives’ sponsored by NIH.”
We had a story a few months ago about the U.S. government purchasing Chinese condoms. Now we’re teaching Chinese hookers how to drink responsibly.
We don’t really care if the Chinese whores are drunk. Nor do we care if the Chinese drunks are whores.
What bothers us is that we’re all getting screwed by the drunken whores in Washington, DC.
