Jonathan Patz, frequent contributor to the Platinum Bike Committee, member of the team that won the Noble Prize along with Al Gore, professor at the UW, and all around nice guy, scores another general media hit: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/11/12/global.warming.diet.ap/index.html
Fight global warming and the obesity epidemic at the same time: walk or ride a bike and eat less red meat! " "This may present the greatest public health opportunity that we've had in a century," said University of Wisconsin health sciences professor Dr. Jonathan Patz, president of the International Association for Ecology and Health. The key is getting people out of the car, Patz and Frumkin told the public health association at its annual convention. Reducing car travel in favor of biking or walking would not only cut obesity and greenhouse gases, they said, it would also mean less smog, fewer deaths from car crashes, less osteoporosis, and even less depression since exercise helps beat the blues."
