It's about time someone was brave enough to step up to the "plate" and set some standards. Approximately 64% of Americans are overweight or obese. I'm even on a diet and trying to lose 1/2 pound. Soon Alabama, which "bulged" to second place in national obesity rankings is cracking down on state workers who are too fat. They already charge $25 a month in health insurance premiums to smokers. Now, unless the workers lower their BMI, they will be "forking" over $25 of their hard earned "dough". If state workers don't smoke and are fit, their insurance is free. Of course there will always be a group of people shouting "unfair... blah, blah, blah." If they would spend all that energy working out instead of complaining and protesting, that would be a great start to getting healthy & fit. Not ordering the 2,200 calorie Bloomin' Onion would also help. p.s. please don't send me hate mail.
