Fat City

Northfield Township officials are none too happy about the greenbelt. And already, development just outside the greenbelt area is being proposed, as predicted.

And more great science writing from the Daily. “Students’ diets include too much fat,” runs the headline of an article that’s actually about trans fats - not unlike saying “water” to mean acid rain.

  1. Best quote”…to buy up land in once-pristine Washtenaw County…”

    Wonder when Wayne County was once-pristine?


  2. Note that development “just outside the greenbelt area” probably has zip to do with the greenbelt. “Leapfrog” development, if it happens at all, won’t happen until the greenbelt area has been preserved. The fact that it is mentioned in this particular article is nothing more than a reporter’s desperate ploy to invoke contraversy.


  3. Leighton, my best guess is when it belonged to The Ottawa.
