First need to prove it is a waste. When we worry about spending, you would have to focus on the large ones. A program that wastes thousands of dollars is literally nothing compared with trillions lost in bailouts and tax cuts.
Starting with the smallest things can go a long way towards being efficient. I am a penny pincher so I just think doing away with the little waste and then working your way up to the bigger sources of waste is the way to go. Money is a bottom up thing to me.

Look, these programs would not even be a drop in the bucket. They're perhaps one water molecule in the dolphin tank at Sea World. And they have significant benefits. If you're worrying about the costs from the government promoting healthy lifestyles, you have been misdirected away from the real sources of government waste.
No there's obviously much bigger fish to fry, but I'm not gonna bring up all the obvious ones in a thread that pertains to childhood obesity. It might be a little molecule in the dolphin tank, but I doubt it'll have a ripple effect which is why I think it's pointless.

That's not such great advice unless coupled with more specific recommendations on portion control.
It's a rule of thumb and yes it is great advice. We used to hunt back then rather than go down to the nearest grocery store, so your body will hoard fat if you eat big meals. If you eat small meals however, you body will stop hoarding it and it will raise metabolism accordingly and burn fat.
I'm not disputing that it is true, but it has to be accompanied by much more specific information on what is a "small" meal, or it will be too easy to overeat.[/quote]Well this is PPR, I can elaborate on the Health forum. Yeah if you wanna see real results you gotta know your diet. Maybe if they funded research pertaining to willpower and came up with some groundbreaking results, I'd stand behind it. I just highly doubt it's gonna bring real results since it's not gonna be anything we haven't heard before. It reminds me too much of D.A.R.E.
