Hi class, these are the readings for 4/10.
Please post your reactions/comments before class on Wednesday. Feel free to share your opinions concerning Bloomberg’s public health policies. Questions you may consider are: Do you think these policies will benefit the people of NYC, or is Bloomberg just acting as a “Nanny-in-chief”? Do you think his policies are too controlling, or are his policies justified by his intentions to combat obesity and bring about a healthier New York?
