The Obesity Killer

I've writing about eating healthy before but my dad reminded me of a fool-proof method. The answer? Compulsory conscription.

Just today, one of my dad's friends from Singapore (who's policy is compulsory conscription) called about his experience in the national service. According to my dad, he use to be quite... chubby but after joining the service, lost quite a few pounds (I didn't ask for the specific number as it might be rude).

Sure, if the country is involved in some long, grueling war that it will never win, this might not gain popular support. But think of all the health benefits of a 10-weeks Basic Military Training, no one would be obese ever again.
