I don't know what the exact costs are for different items in the city budget and, unfortunately, I don't have the time to do the research. Perhaps you, or someone else, might give it a try.
But I can tell you that Bloomberg does not agree with you. I found an article online with the following heading:
"Mayor Bloomberg says costs of treating obesity will bury all of us"
You would think they would give a dollar amount in the article but I didn't find any.
Note: In previous posts I mispelled Bloomberg. Sorry!
