I heard this on the news this morning. I thought it was an interesting idea. Wonder if they could implement something like this in the states. At least in the 'fattest' states.

I agree with you, but maybe this could be an incentive for those who need that extra little push.

Hey if they did that here, we'd all have money in our pocket!
