Harry Mattison has some constructive hopes surrounding our Harvard overlords.
Harvard’s School of Public Health is expected to relocate to Allston at some point and there has been ongoing brainstorming about what type of partnerships might benefit both the HSPH and the local community. Many people at HSPH, specifically in its Department of Nutrition, are actively interested the connection between weight and health. (…) Even though A/B residents have one of the lowest obesity rates in Boston, our rate of 37% means that 25,000 people here are obese! Think of the potential for improved quality of life and reduced medical costs!
Somehow I don’t think this would work without a city-wide tax on beer and curly fries, but then again I’m a pessimist.
