Came across this interesting news. Stødte på denne interessante nyheder. The mayor of an Italian town is paying his residents to lose weight. Borgmesteren i en italiensk by betaler sine indbyggere til at tabe sig. Man will get 50 euros for losing 9 pounds (4 kg) in a month and woman will be paid the same amount for losing 7 pounds (3 kg). Man får 50 euro for at miste 9 pounds (4 kg) i en måned og kvinde vil blive udbetalt det samme beløb for at miste 7 pounds (3 kg). If the weight does not increase for 5 months, each will get another 200 euros. Hvis vægten ikke stiger for 5 måneder, hver får yderligere 200 euro. Mayor Gianluca Buonanno is taking his initiative to encourage the residents to take care of their health after the recent survey shows that 35 percent of Italians are overweight or obese. Borgmester Gianluca Buonanno tager hans initiativ til at tilskynde beboerne til at tage sig af deres helbred efter den seneste undersøgelse viser, at 35 procent af italienerne er overvægtige eller fede.

So, do you want your mayor to do the same too? Så ønsker du din borgmester til at gøre det samme for? Before that, let's look at this news from different perspectives: Før det, lad os se på denne nyhed fra forskellige perspektiver:
- Some may argue that using money as motivation may not make sense because the city or the country does not owe obese people anything to lose weight. Nogle vil måske hævde, at bruge penge som motivation kan ikke give mening, fordi byen eller landet ikke skylder fede mennesker noget at tabe sig. The motivation to lose weight should come from their own. Motivationen til at tabe sig skal komme fra deres egne.
- How about those who are already fit, shouldn't they be rewarded too? Hvad med dem, der allerede er egnet, bør de blive belønnet for?
- The duration of 5 months actually is long enough for one to build the habit in maintaining healthy lifestyle with diet control and exercise plan. Varigheden af 5 måneder faktisk er lang nok til en at bygge vane i at opretholde en sund livsstil med kost og motion planen. Many may have started it because of money. Mange kan have startet det på grund af penge. However, I believe that some will eventually reap the benefits of losing weight – strong, fit, better self esteem and more energized. Jeg tror dog, at nogle i sidste ende vil høste fordelene ved at tabe vægt - stærk, fit, bedre selvregulering agtelse og mere energi.
- Instead of giving hard cash, government may think out of the box to give tax rebates for purchase of fitness equipments, including gym membership. I stedet for at give hårde kontanter, regering kan tænke ud af boksen for at give afgiftsnedslag for køb af fitness-udstyr, herunder fitness-medlemskab. Malaysian Government has just introduced similar policy in the year 2008 Budget announcement. Malaysiske regering har netop indført lignende politik i år 2008 Budget meddelelse.
Many have probably get immune to the community advertisement that talks about Mange har sandsynligvis få immune overfor samfundet reklamen at forhandlingerne om lowering cholesterol levels sænker kolesterolniveauer , exercising more or eating less sugar. , Udøver mere eller spise mindre sukker. Now, with the financial rewards, it instantly get people notice and participate in the program, but the initiatives should always come from the people themselves. Nu, med den finansielle belønninger, det øjeblikkeligt få folk varsel og deltage i programmet, men de initiativer skal altid komme fra folket selv. Otherwise, the smokers may demand for “pay me to quit smoking” request too. Ellers rygerne kan kræve for "betale mig til at holder op med at ryge" anmodning også. No matter what, this creative program has created the buzz and it has achieved one of its objectives in creating the awareness of the risks of obesity. Uanset hvad, det kreative program har skabt den brummer og den har nået et af sine mål at skabe bevidsthed om risikoen for fedme. Paying people to lose weight is much better than what Mississippi planned to do once – Udbetalende folk til at tabe sig er langt bedre end hvad Mississippi er planlagt til at gøre én gang -- stop restaurants from serving food to obese people stop restauranter fra serverer mad til fede mennesker . . How sad. Hvor trist.

It sounds crazy initially but really a great attempt to promote good health. Det lyder vanvittigt i første omgang, men virkelig et stort forsøg på at fremme et godt helbred.

I wish I can get paid to lose weight, it's all gain no lose on both sides, people are healthier equals better productivity, u look great and have better life why not, some more get paid, great motivation to get down to it. Jeg ville ønske, jeg kan få betalt for at tabe sig, er det alle vinde ikke tabe på begge sider, folk er sundere lig bedre produktivitet, u ser stor og har bedre liv, hvorfor ikke, nogle mere bliver betalt, stor motivation til at komme ned til det.

i know this is old post, but i just wanted to comment that this move only serves half the spectrum. Jeg ved, at det er gammel post, men jeg ville blot kommentere, at dette initiativ kun tjener halvdelen af spektret.
it provides a motivation for overweight people to lose weight, in order to be in the “normal” range. Det giver en motivation for overvægtige mennesker til at tabe sig, for at være i den "normale" sortiment. but it doesnt work for underweight people, who needs motivation to eat healthy and gain weight to shoot up into the “normal” range. men det gør ikke arbejde for undervægtige mennesker, som har behov for motivation til at spise sundt og få vægten til at skyde op i de "normale" sortiment.
anyways, commendable effort by the mayor. anyways, rosværdig indsats fra borgmesteren. But being healthy should be more than just gaining/losing weight. Men det at være sund, bør være mere end blot at vinde / tabe vægt.
