England to cut public benefits if obese dont exercise

i am not english so i do not understand some of the terms here. but from what i gather english persons who are recieving government housing,food, allowances could face cuts if they do no change their unhealthy (high bmi) lifestyle.

from the article

"Overweight claimants should have their benefits cut if they do not exercise enough, councils declared yesterday.

Rent subsidies paid through housing and council tax benefits may be ‘varied’ depending on whether they obey instructions to go swimming or to gyms and yoga classes, a think-tank said.

Proposals for town halls to promote healthy lifestyles added that shops should be given cash from council taxpayers to stock more fruit and vegetables.


Philippa Roe, leader of the flagship Tory authority, said: ‘This report contains exactly the sort of bright, forward-thinking and radical ideas that need to be looked at.’

The document suggested that financial pressure on the jobless and unhealthy could begin this spring when control of state public health programmes shifts to town halls.

The changes will see GPs given powers to prescribe activity at public leisure centres to patients they consider take too little exercise. The rise of smart cards means their activities can be monitored more easily."

Awesome idea I suppose. But it's strange though how they promote taking personal responsibility, and subsidizing healthy groceries in the same thought.

It'll be viewed as clamping down and shrinking government when it's actually just a further transfer of funds from welfare support to big business subsidies...

Brilliant, crafty move by the government, I'd say.
