Governor Christie posed with the shovel he uses at meals before he checked into Cooper University Hospital in Camden on Tuesday for gastric-bypass surgery.
Today, a photo of the governor appears in The Record (A-3).
The surgery will reduce the size of his stomach, forcing him to cut down on how much he eats.
Since he took office in January 2010, the GOP bully's losing battle with his weight has served as a poor example during the obesity epidemic.
But it has given comfort to editors of the Woodland Park daily who struggle with their own food demons and who have consistently refused to launch a newsroom project on obesity.
The lead story on Page 1 today suggests it took The Record and other media three months to realize Christie's proposal to cut income taxes is more voodoo economics designed to protect his wealthy supporters from tax hikes (A-1 and A-6).
You can rest assured the only reason a black man from Nigeria, Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole, is on the front page today is that he allegedly committed a crime (A-1).
Editor Marty Gottlieb, who is in his 60s, put stories on politics and political corruption on A-1 today, leaving room for only a brief on a breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Gottlieb apparently shares the bias of his fellow editors for front-page stories on autism. That's another form of age discrimination.
Wegmans, Shmegmans
The Page 1 story on an enormous Wegmans Food Market replacing DePiero's produce market in Montvale doesn't tell readers it would be a case of one expensive store replacing another.
The Wegmans in Woodbridge is nearly 140,000 square feet, a good part of it devoted to pricey prepared food.
Prices for fresh seafood are among the highest in North Jersey.
A Wegmans in Montvale would cater to the wealthy residents of that town and surrounding communities, as well as to executives of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other nearby companies.
For most Bergen residents, a Wegmans opening in Montvale would be a non-event.
Little local news
Residents of Hackensack, Teaneck and Englewood won't find any municipal news today in head Assignment Editor Deirdre Sykes' Local section.
