Weres my £400 for not being overweight and not costing the tax payer millions?

@ryansweeney1661 25 дней назад

Stop being racist. You've been reported to the Scottish authorities

@lauraarmstrong6900 27 дней назад

Lower the cost of healthy food and massively increase the cost of junk foods because if you are on a budget what choice are you going to make 🤔

@aa-fw2pw 27 дней назад

I agree. Junk food should be heavily taxed, and healthy food should not only be affordable but also easily accessible. Maybe some initiative can be put in place which encourages more people to grow their own fruit and veg?

💯 Healthy proteins need to be cheaper

@MarianneSunshine 27 дней назад

No make nutritious foods cheaper and unhealthy foods expensive. It’s very simple.

How is it we can give people £400 to loose weight when people are struggling currently with money?

@jujutrini8412 27 дней назад

I presume the calculation is that it costs less to the country to have people lose weight. Obesity costs the country money - NHS, sickness days off work, injuries, etc.

@kellyrana1 27 дней назад

Why do people always assume its cos of food. Not everyone is overweight cos of food.

@danleary123 27 дней назад

So if you don't eat food for a week you'll put on a weight? Yer hormones can raise or lower basel metabolic rate.. But you can't put on weight without eating

In no way should we pay people for them to fix there own woeful life choices

Support would help From South Africa.Not obese but pre diabetic Difficult to loose weight if you have trouble with tyroid

@saraeastman40 27 дней назад

Not with anybody’s taxes. Money should go to people with food insecurity, not those who eat too much

@stephaniec8556 27 дней назад

Extrinsic motivation only lasts short term. Once the incentive goes away so does the behavior change,

@jujutrini8412 27 дней назад

Extrinsic motivation can get someone started in the right direction. Sometimes people only need a push to do what they know they should do.

@stephaniec8556 20 дней назад

@@jujutrini8412 unfortunately studies show though that may be the case if people are extrinsically motivated once the extrinsic factor is removed the majority revert to old behavior. Intrinsic motivation is what produces sustainable change.

@melgrant7404 25 дней назад

Pay them to put the weight back on again. Makes sense.

@AdmiringBabyPenguin-on6fd 25 дней назад

No let em rot

@peeg09 25 дней назад

Well done that man. But there's the whole mental health issues that Ozempic...things like that could help. It could also be good for your mental losing the weight.

@SummerSibz204 26 дней назад

“I think the solution is we should buy people treadmills…..😮” using whose money???? NO !

@nuciubrzezinski7377 26 дней назад

This is easy to say to someone who is overweight but still physically active. However, there are people like me who have difficulty losing weight because they are partially disabled and unable to do most exercises. You could say just don't eat that much or at all. I agree! But I have another illness that requires medication to be taken with food, otherwise I couldn't stand the pain in my stomach area, but that again would disagree with this more than most of you, we don't need £400 if healthy food was cheaper than junk food.

It doesnt help when there is a McDonald's or KFC on every street corner.

@robertodonnell6326 26 дней назад

No No No..they will just buy more cakes.

@alexhaynes7220 27 дней назад

Not people

@harrywirrelson9628 27 дней назад

Clearly not into American pop culture

@joshuastoughton1693 27 дней назад

No, but we should try shaming and laughing at them again. Or at least, dont glorify and quit pretending being 1000 pounds of lard is anything but incredibly unhealthy.

@user-tj9gk8ks2n 27 дней назад

Why shaming and laughing at obese people Shameful and degrading Say something of yourself

@JWK35 27 дней назад

Whilst we shouldn't accept and normalise obesity, I think we should still accept and support someone's efforts of becoming healthier. Imagine spectating your town's local road-running race and heckling or insulting the slower half of the field, or pointing and laughing at an alcoholic whenever they go out in public.
