The end result of which is not being fat. If that means McDonald's for you, then go for it.

The food isn't to blame; my aunt runs marathons twice a year, and she eats atrociously while on the road. Forcing an obese person to purchase "healthy foods" (however that may be defined) could lead to malnutrition if they decide to stop eating altogether. Like McDonald's use to say, "Hey, it could happen." I forgot to mention that no government entity, in America, can force someone to work (like working out) without incarcerating them first.

It's too limiting. Ultimately, people would refuse to go to their doctors, and doctors, I'm sure, could be easily persuaded to lie about their patients' weights. Doctors love pleasing their patients (and their sponsors). This has an abysmal chance for implementation. It's too limiting.

The benefit of such a system would be that you and I wouldn't have any problems… we could do largely what we want. The only time that it would come into play would be for those that are overweight, or had three heart attacks and want to eat some steak.

I disagree, however, that the weight problem is because of the systems. It's very obviously correlated to a fast-food and sugar-high diet, combined with our largely sedentary lifestyle in the modern world. Nothing to do with “the system”, but rather the market and people's lack of self control.

Creating laws and systems in order to take control out of an individual's hands is never a good idea. I expected to see a "Food RFID Chip" system which would make it ridiculously easier to track nutritional data while on a self administered nutritional program. I agree America needs to lose weight. I am a long distance runner and watch my own nutrition. I think that America is overweight as a result of the systems and controls we have in place, which have changed our values, not due to a lack of them. This is stupid.
