It is certainly true that obesity is becoming a bigger and bigger problem every year and that puttting our collective heads in the sand over it isn't going to help any...
But I can't say I like the idea of forcing body altering drugs on people who seek unemployment assistance, even if it's meant to be for the sake of their health. It feels like one hell of a slippery slope.
It's not a slippery slope at all, this is one drug recall away from a Rifftrax of Logan's Run.
Didn't really sound like it would be forced upon people? That would be pretty outrageous.
