THE CAPITALIST MAJORITY
A new study confirms that, for the first time in our history, a majority of Americans owned stock as the millennium turned.
FED TO DEATH
America faces an obesity epidemic. About a quarter of the population weigh significantly more than experts say they should. The problem is particularly acute amongst minority groups and the poor. At the current rate of increase, within just a few years a majority of women will be obese.
AEI scholar Doug Besharov has argued that food support programs for the poor contribute to this epidemic. By assuming that the poor are starving (in fact, only about one half of 1 percent--mostly the mentally ill and drug addicts--face food problems) government programs contribute to obesity. The ethnic groups with the largest proportion of food stamp recipients also have the highest rates of obesity.
