Fat parents could be paid to walk children to school


Overweight parents could be paid to walk their children to school as part of a Government campaign to fight the obesity epidemic... Under the scheme people who exercise would receive supermarket-style vouchers to spend on sports gear and healthy food.... Those attending keep-fit classes or weight loss clubs could be eligible for rewards, as well as those walking to bus or train stations.
I can see it now: a 230# parent realizes he/she only has to gain 20# more to qualify for sports gear and free food...
