A rather strange story from over the pond.

Quote:
Overweight welfare claimants in the US state of Arizona face paying $50 (£31) fines if they don't follow a dietary regime laid down by their doctor. Is that fair?

Just as American waistlines - like many in the Western world - continue to expand, so does the budget to meet the associated costs.

Do you reckon it would work to help people follown the diet plans?

I reckon it's a silly idea:D

If you can stop them spending their income on food they may just stop eating.

All they should be able to afford is those shakes they have to drink.
