Weight Loss Incentives For Employees

Possible solutions to curb the obesity problem in the US.?

I went for a run the other day and saw that I was literally the only person outside, so on my way I got to thinking. I read somewhere that Japan has a national waistline limit, but I think it would be much more effective in the US. If we set a national waistline limit of say, 40in, and anyone over that limit gets federal assistance to start some sort of weight loss program, do you think it would be effective? While it may seem costly, it could serve to offset future costs of health problems associated with obesity and general unhealthiness. How well (or poorly) do you think something like this would be received by the American public?
Another thing I thought about was that the gov’t should give tax cuts to companies that give their employees free gym memberships as an incentive.
What are your thoughts?

its a bright idea. only problem is if the government does fund for people to lose wait its not likely that theyll do so and even if they do its not likely theyll keep the wait down.
