If the government was to invest some money that would improve health in general it would save heaps in the medical expenses where it could be used in other areas, like raising the pay of our politicians. :devil_tb: Hey Pete,

You got to be kidding me. The freakin government should stay out of our lives and stop spending our money. People need to take responsibility for themselves and if they don't want to it's not my problem. The government takes enough of my hard earned money already. The government should pay?

I shows them working their butts off. It shows them all having a trainer, even after they lose and are kicked off. Not at all realistic for the average person. One of our radio presenters was on one of the shows and he said that while they showed us weekly weigh ins they actually took place over several weeks. Again if people were to take these as what could be lost in a week they would be in for a rude shock. It doesn’t really show all that much diversity from what I can see.

I weight 300. I was also in the Army. I know what an hour a day can accomplish, but to someone with no frame of reference working out for 45-60 minutes in the face of being obese doesn't seem like it could accomplish anything. This show also shows so much diversity in types of workouts that anyone should be able to find something they can do.

[Thyroid or other medical issues are a different situation]. It is not the governments fault that some lazy idiot gained so much weight. Overeating, not taking care of your body... its selfish. You are destroying not only yourself, but the ones who love and care about you. A few of my overweight friends just say "you're gonna die anyway, might as well make the best of it." That's so self-centered. Yeah, make the best of your life, but do it with friends, family, etc. So, my point is, you can't ask the government to help people who generally don't care about themselves, their life, or just helping themselves. If they gave one ounce of a damn, they wouldn't have sat on their couches every day, channel surfed, and shoved all that food in their mouths. NOTE: i would like to say that i am not a health nut. i just don't care about those that don't care about themselves. if you can't respect yourself, your body, and the wonderful life that God gave you... don't demand respect from me because you won't get it.

The government should pay... the government should subsidise.... I'm a dietitian, and time and time again I hear the words 'you haven't told me anything I don't already know, I just need to actually do it'. Eating well isn't hard. It's cheaper than take-away and other rubbish already without having to add taxes to it. The government can't stand there and stop you from putting food in your mouth. It also can't get you out of bed in the morning and take you for a 5km walk. The ONLY person that can do that is yourself. So STOP blaming the government, your childhood or any other excuse you may have come up with and start realising that you got yourself into this mess, so you have to get yourself out.
