Government to find what makes kids unhealthy

The federal government is launching a 21- year National Children's Study, in which researchers will track 100,000 kids in 96 counties from birth to their 21st birthdays to discover what makes them unhealthy.

More than 2,4000 scientists have helped design the $2.7 billion project, the largest and most expensive long-term children's study in history.

Bonnie - My tax dollars are being spent on this? We're going to have to wait 21 years to find out why are children are unhealthy? They could just read my book, Our Children's health, and get the answers right now!
