Freakonomics_main Major thanks to Steven Levitt of the New York Times Freakonomics blog (and co-author of the book by the same name) for publishing a post on the new Changemakers competition, "Designing for Better Health."  The competition, which seeks innovative "nudges" that can influence people to make healthier choices for themselves or others, has kicked off a really interesting string of comments among Freakonomics blog readers.  Add your perspectives, either there or on the Changemakers competition site.
