Tap Your Toes, Big Apple

OrganizedWisdom's symbol is the apple, long associated with health and well-being. While an apple a day may not keep the doctor away -- indeed, the doctor is probably booked up through August -- it's still an appealing and nutritious choice. There's even been a recent study suggesting that apple juice is associated with asthma prevention in kids.

The apple is also associated with New York City. The Big Apple is home to OrganizedWisdom, and also  home to many of the nation's leading health-related companies, hospitals and technology innovators. It's  a city where health is serious business, as restaurateurs found out when city officials recently banned the use of trans fats.

So why is it illegal to get up in a bar and dance in New York -- surely a far healthier thing to do than some of the other available activities in bars? The city has recently seen a number of protests against its  law banning dancing in establishments that haven't procured a hard-to-get cabaret license. (The law is a shameful bit of New York history, aimed at preventing interracial dancing.)  

As many people already know, dancing can be a great cardio workout. You don't need anything but a beat, and there are so many styles available that it's hard to get bored. Schools across the nation are installing Dance Dance Revolution setups to get kids moving. So come on, Big Apple. Let the people dance.
