I personally don't think this would be a terrible thing for the US if it done correctly, meaning in a way that will not simply humiliate people and a way that will actually help people. I have been obese for years, and I would love to have some encouragement and someone to help me find ways to lose the weight, since I cannot really afford anything to help me and I have some health problems that make some exercises quite difficult.

The obesity rate is very troubling and I think something needs to be done. Obesity has gotten horrible in a short period of time, according to what I've seen; when I was in elementary school, students called me "fat" all the time, and I'm in college now, and I haven't been made fun of for my weight since early middle school, because by that time, every one else was fat, too. >_<

Really, though, if the government wants to help with weight loss, they need to make the really healthy food affordable for poorer people (like myself) and find some sort of way to help encourage physical activity so that people will want to do it, and it not be a horrible pain for them.
