Feds Spending $2.2 Million to Study Lesbian Obesity
The federal government has spent $2.2 million studying why three quarters of lesbians are obese despite sequestration-mandated budget

The National Institutes of Health awarded an additional $682,873 to Brigham and Women’s Hospital for the study on July 17. The project had received previous grants of $778,622 in 2011, and $741,378 in 2012. Total funding has reached $2,202,873.
