Origins of obesity traced to womb signals
New research suggests an obese mother's womb may program her fetus toward heavier weight, potentially raising the offspring's obesity risk. Experts note mixed views but growing belief in a cross‑generational effect that could guide future prevention and treatment strategies. Kathy Perusse, who shed 120 pounds after surgery, cites improved mobility yet remains overweight while her older children face weight struggles.

The event foregrounded a projected $1 billion shortfall and a push to restore the school year through tax steps or emergency funds. Local teachers supported the protest, arguing education should be protected while students urged to stay in class.

House health care bill tops trillion in price tag
Washington officials say the House health care bill carries a cost of at least 1 trillion dollars over ten years, with the official CBO figure around 871 billion but likely understating true costs by 150 billion or more. Democrats warn deficits would fall by 50 to 120 billion, and the measure aims to slow Medicare growth while closing the drug donut hole faster.
