Editorial discusses a study showing obesity could shorten Americans' average lifespan by two to five years this century. It cites the University of Illinois at Chicago and links to broader health trends, noting progress and ongoing challenges in Iowa's Healthy Iowans 2010 plan.
The piece questions using cold medicine restrictions to curb meth production pledging to spend on Social Security Medicare and Medicaid instead. It argues federal and state actions may push costs onto law abiding citizens and cites that most meth comes from outside Iowa with only a minority produced locally. It notes possible age limits and purchase caps as alternatives.
A reader argues against restricting cold medicines amid ephedra bans, defending access and family responsibility. The letter also claims President Bush and Republicans misuse Social Security trust funds, proposing higher taxes now to repay borrowed funds and criticize tax cuts for the wealthy.
The Gazette flags a leadership void in Cedar Rapids as Mayor Lee Clancey faces critics Carol Martin Larry Johnson and P. T. Larson. A veteran group seeks control of Veterans Memorial Coliseum while Republican influence mounts against Clancey in the 2000 campaign. Voters, media and party interference are blamed for the city's troubles.
Opinion piece argues mad cow disease signals a broader crisis in industrialized agriculture.
