We could use a version of that here. Only why not cut out the middleman? Just have the kids weighed and measured every month by the school nurse to qualify for the handout.

No need for afterschool programs, just install an appropriately sized hamster wheel in the living room. I’m sure there would soon be TV and radio ads by outfits offering to whip your children into shape cheaper than the gummint can.

Perhaps a market would crop up for adopting 3rd world kids and keeping them skinny in order to milk the benefit.

It’s $500.00 of free money. It took some digging to find a “victim” here (not counting the tax-payer, of course).
