Public Health

Public health is serious business. But, sometimes we need a good laugh.
New York City has been a leader with many public health policies, including menu labeling, eliminating trans fats, and banning smoking in various venues. With this in mind, The Week magazine held a contest for readers to predict the headline for the next city’s decree.
The winner entry:
NYC Shuts Down Early to Make Sure Residents Get 8 Hours of Sleep
Other ones that made me chuckle:
Big Apple Bans Big Apples, Cites Link between Large Portions & Obesity Epidemic
New York Sets Minimum Walking Speed
NYC Bans Public Eye Contact
Mayor Proposes Helmet Law for Pedestrians
Some of the policy wonks out there might appreciate my favorite…

We all need a good laugh, so feel free to post your entry in the comment section below.
