The objective of this work is to compare and contrast the ethics analysis versus the cost benefits analysis approaches to policy analysis. There is a Greek Proverb, which states, "a society grows great when old men plants trees in whose shade they know they will never sit." (Clowney, 2006) Protection of the health of human beings and the natural environment at one time did not appear to make the requirement of such as economic analysis. It is stated in the work of Ackerman (2008) that it is "surprising that cost-benefit analysis is such a failure; at first glance it appears quite reasonable. If only one could assign monetary values to all the costs and all the benefits of a proposed policy, it would become a simple, transparent matter to add up the costs and benefits." (p.2) Many times it is impossible to define all the costs and benefits in monetary terms. Uncertain future results are estimated by analyst who state values based on their best possible guess. The analysts fail to calculate the worst-case scenario into the policy matter debate. Ackerman notes that the complexity and detailed process results in a loss of transparency as well as lost objectivity.

As in most of the nation, the obesity epidemic threatens public health in Los Angeles County. Obesity increased from 13.6% to 22.2% in adults between 1997 and 2007.

Friedrich Wilhelm Augustus von Steuben was born to a military family in the Prussian garrison town of Magdeburg in 1730. King Friedrich Wilhelm II was one of his godfathers, which indicated that the family stood high in royal favor at that time (Lockhart 2). Steuben's military credentials were genuine, since his father was an officer in the Prussian Army as were three of his uncles, and he served as an enlisted man then an officer for seventeen years. No one else on the American side had remotely the same amount of professional military experience, nor would any other officer have been as capable of carrying out the necessary training and organization of the new Continental Army from 1777. Although baptized a Calvinist, as an adult Steuben showed no interest in organized religion and was an admirer of French philosophes and skeptics like Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot. Prussia in this era was "an army with a country" with 80% of its budget spent on the military, but the population was small and two-thirds of the army consisted of foreign volunteers (Lockhart 4).
