    I'm surprised no one here finds it a little offensive/degrading to get measured and fined for being overweight. Sounds like a nightmare! WE'RE PEOPLE, NOT CATTLE!
    However, it would provide a nice incentive.

    Responding to the earlier "debate" about good foods being more expensive, this is so true and also very sad. $3 for a small pack of raspberries. I could inhale those things in about a minute, with gusto; I hate that I have to limit my fruit intake because it's so durn expensive. They had a proposed 'fat tax' a while back that would raise the prices of cheap empty-calorie foods, but I don't know what happened about it. They should mix the fat tax with lowering prices of health foods, and see what happens. Also, while I'm not sure I want to live in a world where a cinnabon isn't at least theoretically available, I think the government should make rules about super-unhealthy food, at least making it LESS unhealthy by using better ingredients and making smaller portions.
