Should Obese People Be Payed to Slim Down ?

    No, they should be taxed for being fat.

    If they were paid to slim down, I'd get fat to get paid to slim down.

    Pay them with cake.

    I have thoughts very frequently. More so than some given the state of your OP.

    Payed?

    Bollox to that! If they are happy to gorge themselves and live a slovenly, disease riddled life then let them.

    If being a healthy weight with the possibility of enjoying life and living as long as possible is not incentive enough then they are a lost cause.

    Flashing the cash is absurd.

    What about people with eating disorders, bulemia, anorexia etc...........throwing fivers at them isnt going to get them to eat a burger!

    Money isnt always a solution.

    As if we don't have enough troubles.
    Why should I pay for people to look after their own health and bodies?

    to some extent, but people go to rehab because the courts make them as they have committed crimes.
    (Unless they can afford it).

    Someone who just had a cheese burger isn't going to go run over somebody in their car. They are only harming themselves.
